Depending on whom you ask, Stella is either classy, trashy, or downright ordinary. A common joke among Belgian beer enthusiasts is that American beer consumers consider Stella Artois an elevated import, while “[i]n Belgium, Stella Artois is considered a very ordinary beer at best.”

It's all in the Name. Stella Artois is proud of our rich Belgian heritage. Stella Artois traces its origins to over 600 years ago, to the Den Hoorn brewery in Leuven, Belgium founded in 1366. Stella Artois was born as a Holiday gift to the people of Leuven from the brewery.

Stella Artois is a household name with a mixed reputation. The beer has been considered a high-class import, a brawl-inducing booze bomb, and a simple pale lager.

From Belgium we bring you Stella Artois, one of the lager beers most recognized internationally, as a balanced, fruity and refreshing spirit drink that combines the perfect combination of aromas with the powerful flavor of Saaz hops.

He told him - 'it's made from female Czechoslovakian hops, uses Belgian barley and takes twice as long to mature as other beers, that's why it costs more.” Seymour came up with the slogan “reassuringly expensive”, a term which went from print ads to the lager's TV commercials and lasted for more than 20 years.

Stella Artois was initially only a luxury beer brand with its roots embedded in Belgium's history but it has now branched out in the premium Cidre market making exceptional cidres to go alongside it's world famous beer.

Flavor. While the beers are similar on the nose with malt, yeast, and mild citrus, Stella is more pronounced with slight vegetal aromas. However, Heineken's flavors linger longer on the palate and are brighter. On the palate, Stella is lighter with a sweet aftertaste.

Stella Artois is brewed with just four ingredients: water; malted barley; maize and most importantly the finest Saaz hops. It's these hops that set Stella Artois apart.
