Stella Artois^®’ roots trace back to the Den Horen brewing enterprise in 1366, in the Belgian city of Leuven. In 1717, Master Brewer Sebastian Artois purchased the brewery and changed its name to Artois.
‘Stella’ Artois^® was first brewed as a Christmas beer back in 1926. It was named “Stella”, Latin for “star”, from the Star of Christmas, and Artois, after Sebastian Artois, founder of the brewery.
It is brewed to perfection using the original Stella Artois® yeast and only the best ingredients including the celebrated Saaz hops. It's the optimum premium lager, with its full flavor and clean, crisp taste.
Stella Artois^® is still brewed using natural ingredients in the same processes of mixing and fermentation used in the old days. This guarantees that the beer is something we've been proud of and will always be proud of.
No matter where in the world, consumers can count on a great experience when they drink Stella Artois^®. A brand of supreme worth and quality, it is the number 1 Belgian beer in the world and is distributed in over 80 countries worldwide.
