Stella artois Why is Stella Artois called "wife-beater"?
The rumor is that the beer Stella Artois is nick-named wife-beater because the chemical make-up of the beer makes people aggressive. Is this rumor true and have any studies been conducted into it?
I am quite sure this nickname started because of Stella's considerably high alcohol content. However, it is odd that there are other well known beers that do not carry the same stigma; such as Heineken, Sierra Nevada Pale Ale, and Pete's Wicked Ale for instance.
Interestingly, the first time I heard this derogatory term was from a friend who lives in London, but I had no clue it was of common usage.
When searching for references, it seems the term was indeed coined, in the UK, for the beers high alcohol content, and not some inherent chemical. Obviously, a higher alcohol content is more likely to induce aggressiveness than a weaker brew.
For a better explanation, check out this review of Stella provided by a UK consumer (link below): he explains the reference in more detail and even explains that one pint will put you over the legal driving limit in the UK.

How can I find employment opportunities with Stella Artois?
What kind of employment???????????????????????
Stella Artois is brewed by one of the two (I forget which one) biggest international brewing conglomerates and therefore there are selling and marketing jobs with distributors worldwide.
Hey man, I can only comment on the beers I have had before, which is far less that the total listed here. That said…Beers I would order: Erdinger Weiss Dunkel – they make some of the best wheat beers on the planet, and the delicious malt addition to this one makes it one of my all-time fave weiss beers. If there was an American comparison that I knew of I would tell you, and have some in my fridge right now. St Paul Triple Beer – no idea if that price is worth it, but its a tasty triple and it’ll fuck you up right. Tiger Lager Beer – for full disclaimer I am biased because I have been to their brewery in Southeast Asia (and had an incredible time, I am actually wearing a silk Tiger Beer shirt as I type this), but this is a very decent lager and one of the cheapest beers on the site. Very doable session beer. Warsteiner Beer – wonderful session beer, but at these prices I’d rather have 2.5 Tiger Lagers Stella Artois Beer – for this price I would tell them to GTFO, get another Erdinger Weiss Dunkel and pocket the difference Amstel Lager – get 3 Tigers for the same price Gulden Dark Beer&Glass Giftset – I don’t know if you want to pay for the glass giftset, but this is an amazingly unique and delicious triple with a dark, roasty malt twist. This is a beer that I immediately order if I see it on an import menu. I actually had one at Monk’s in Philly this weekend, to share with dining partners who had lived in Europe for many years. I warned them that I knew of no other beer to compare it to, and they were equally at a loss for comparison. Everyone agreed on how delicious it is. Hoegaarden Beer – a personal standard of mine. Any new hefeweiss I try is compared to this. If it comes close, its a hit. Lindemans varieties – I don’t do fruit lambics, but if they are your style these brands are supposedly the bee’s knees. Kingfisher Premium Lager – compared to the other prices listed from this site there is no way in hell I would get one of these Asahi, Kirin Ichiban, and Sapporo varieties – I haven’t had nearly all of the various styles sold here, but I would not recommend any of the brands from what I *have* had. Rice beers to the fullest. If anyone is a proponent of these varieties, please tell me why I am wrong and I’ll gladly go try a new one!
