THE GIFT OF LEGACY

Stella Artois has over 600 years of brewing heritage. Founded in Leuven, Belgium at the De Hoorn Brewery in 1366. The lager was created as a gift from the brewery to the people of Leuven for the holidays, hence the name, “Stella,” meaning “star” in Latin. The “Artois” comes from Sebastian Artois, a De Hoorn Brew Master, beloved in both the brewery and in the Leuven communities. The Stella Artois is not only a gift, but a way to honor the legacy of a beloved man.

Storage Instructions

Store beer bottles upright to prevent yeast rings from appearing. They must be kept in a cool, dark place at approximately 13°C. Don’t allow beer to be caught in bright light for long periods of time to prevent it from attaining a “skunky” taste.
