The design incorporates the horn symbol and the 1366 date of the original Den Hoorn brewery.

[11][12] The beer had become known in the UK as the "wife-beater", in part because of its high alcohol content, and perceived connection with aggression and binge drinking. In January 2012, MP Tom Watson discovered that Portland Communication had tried to remove references to a client's brand of lager, Stella Artois, from the wife-beater disambiguation page in Wikipedia. Obviously they aren't called wifebeaters on the package. Stella Artois has been or is a primary sponsor of the Cannes, Melbourne, and Sundance film festivals, the Independent Spirit Awards, the Dallas International Film Festival, and the Little Rock Film Festival. [15] For the Hungarian market, Stella Artois is brewed in Bőcs, Hungary, by Borsod Brewery, under licence from InBev. Whitbread began to brew it under contract in the United Kingdom in 1976. Yeast is also an ingredient used in the fermentation process, but almost all of it is removed before packaging.

[4] According to Freddy Delvaux, former head of the in-house laboratory, the Belgian version was 33 IBU when he joined the lab in 1973, compared to just 20 IBU in 2014.[12]. And for Women: (in order from terms I hear more - hear less) 1) Women's tank top ... 2) Halter top ... 3) Boob tube ... 4) Boy beater ... 5) Camisole ... 6) the generic term of Blouse ...So those are the names I have heard of for the Tank top and women's Tank top, names which I had been aware of before this article. I was calling them "A-shirts" before I'd ever heard of "tank top" or "wife beater." The "Stella" link is nothing to do with shirts. Nothing offensive about it. knoodelhed 21:07, 17 August 2005 (UTC), I heard Stella the beer was called wifebeater here in the UK because when police go to check on domestic violence calls, they usually see cans or bottles of Stella Artois lieing around. ShaneKing 04:50, 16 Feb 2004 (UTC), In australia i have only ever heard the blue bonds chesty been refered to as a wife beater never the white ones. (Certainly the slang nickname should be mentioned in the article, but the articles should not be structred to make the nickname the sole point of the article.) As for Acsenary's objections, I think A-shirt certainly passes the Pokemon test. [17][18] The effort related to Stella Artois carrying that nickname in the United Kingdom, due to a perceived connection between binge drinking and domestic violence. Portland Communications denied any allegations as "a ridiculous conspiracy theory and completely untrue". Portland Communications is a political consultancy and public relations agency set up in 2001 by Tim Allan,[1] a former adviser to Tony Blair[2] and Director of Communications at BSkyB.

I'm changing the article accordingly. I actually thought a wife-beater was a jumper type garment until recently. Stella Artois is also brewed for the Australian market by Lion. Stella Artois is brewed in Belgium (in the plants at Leuven and Jupille) and the United Kingdom, as well as in other countries.

I have also never in my life heard the term "A-shirt". AB InBev lobbyists, Portland Communications, were exposed as trying to remove all "wife beater" references from the Stella Artois Wikipedia entry.

[14], The firm admitted to on-line attacks of critics of their client, the government of Qatar, who are hosting the 2022 World Cup. Stella Artois, one of the biggest brands of lager in the UK, in recent years has earned the nickname "wife beater" because of its high alcohol content and apparent popularity among rowdy soccer players. Years later, I would be surprised by its use by people I didn't know and in the media. They have used notable film directors such as Jonathan Glazer. WilyD 14:06, 2 November 2005 (UTC), I've known a wifebeater only as a white sleeveless undershirt, basically just what DeNiro is wearing in the picture, not just any tank top. "Wifebeater" as a term should still be discussed in the article, as it is now, but under it's true name. In 2012 a majority stake in Portland was purchased by Omnicom.[3]. The images showed a Stella-monogrammed half-pint glass (due to its strength) – in one advertisement with a muscular 'glass arm' for a handle, in the other a glass sitting beside a torn-in-half telephone directory.

Stella Artois has been nicknamed "wife beater" in the United Kingdom, due to a perceived connection with aggression and binge drinking. To try and draw a (rough) comparison, there's a wikipedia topic for "Nigger" and a wikipedia topic for "African-American". — Preceding unsigned comment added by Curtainbach (talk • contribs) 02:27, 28 November 2017 (UTC). We have created a browser extension. [9], In 1988, Brouwerij Artois was a founding member in the merger creating Interbrew. The changes on Wikipedia were made by a user named Portlander10, who had an IP address traceable to Portland Communications. For example, Stella Artois, the first beer that I actually enjoyed, actually lowered their alcohol percentage a few points. 144.132.216.253 04:21, 7 May 2007 (UTC), Yes, it should. The commercial was heavily criticized in the Belgian media for giving the impression that the beer is French.[19][20]. There should be a mention in the pop culture section of the term's use on either the show "Wife Swap" or "Trading Spouses" (I'm not sure which), a clip of which was prominently featured on the show "The Soup" within the past year, probably on the "Reality Show Clip Time" segment.
