It was October 2007, on a 10-day trade mission trip to China as an associate of the Long Beach Chamber of Commerce. Joined by my esteemed colleague Olu Davis, he put me onto the adult beverage that is now my beer of choice:

Stella Artois.

Brewed by InBev, and Latin for star, I still can’t quite put my finger on why this particular lager has become my favorite, but trust me, it is.

Upon introduction, in our travels throughout China, Stella seemed the be the most available and common beer; for some reason that intrigued me. Upon returning to home to the States, I have come to realize that it is certainly a popular beer here as well. And now, it has become a lot more available and visible due InBev’s recent acquisition of Anheuser-Busch.

Enjoy the beverage as I have…I look forward to a toast to a nice good cold Stella.

Cheers!
