About Stella Artois
Stella Artois is brewed in Leuven, Belgium, and traces its brewery to 1366, though the Stella pilsner itself was launched as a Christmas beer in 1926, its name meaning star. Its long British advertising campaign, calling it reassuringly expensive, ran for two decades before being retired.
