Stella Artois

Stella Artois is a Belgian 'lager beer' that has been brewed in Leuven, Belgium by Interbrew. Although the Artois brewery was established in 1366, the brew as it is commonly known today did not arrive on the scene until 1926. That year, the Stella Xmas beer was brewed for the first time. Colloquially known as Stella (the Latin word for star), it is the most popular Premium Lager in the UK beer market, and is being heavily promoted as an international brand by Interbrew.
