The Stella Artois story begins in the historic Den Hoorn brewery in Leuven, a town famous for its brewing tradition. Originally crafted as a Christmas beer in 1926, Stella Artois quickly rose to global prominence, earning a reputation for its crisp flavour and high standards. The name “Stella” means star in Latin, reflecting its brilliance, while “Artois” honours Sebastian Artois, who became master brewer in 1708.
