Stella Artois is a 5% ABV lager originating from Leuven, Belgium.
It is named Stella after the Latin word for "star" whereas Artois is the family name of Sebastianus Artois, who gave his name to the brewery in 1717.
HISTORY OF STELLA ARTOIS
Tax records exist from 1366 for Leuven's Den Horen Brewery. In 1708, Sebastianus Artois became the master brewer at Den Horen, and gave his name to the brewery in 1717.
In 1926, Stella Artois was launched initially as a seasonal beer especially for the Christmas holiday market. It was first sold in Canada and it was such a commercial success that the brand became available year round and, apart from the duration of the Second World War, has been produced ever since. The first Stella Artois beer was exported to the European market in 1930. By 1960, 100 million litres of Stella Artois was being produced annually. InBev opened a new fully automated brewery in Leuven in 1993, and by 2006, total production volume was over a billion litres annually.
The current package design and bottle design and shape was created in 1988 by David Taylor, founder of Taylorbrands. The design replaced a 1960s design and is inspired by the original 1926 bottle label. The design incorporates the horn symbol of the Den Hoorn brewery and the date 1366 which is the date of the earliest recorded brewing in Leuven. The label also shows medals for excellence awarded to the brewery at a number of trade exhibitions in Belgium in the 19th and 20th century. The name Stella Artois is held within a "cartouche" which was influenced by the style of Belgian architecture of Leuvenes.

I will write a message just for you/
I'll hide it somewhere under your pillow/
Then in your dreams I'll be the one you want me too/
You'll hide me somewhere under your pillow

Obsessions in my head
Don't connect with my intellect
It's called obsession
Can you handle it?
It's connected to the hip sounds
And it moves with the underground
It's called obsession
When you're around...

Friendship is harmony, friendship is peace, friendship is bliss.
Friendship is harmony. Mutual harmony removes all dark conflicts.
Each individual has opinions of his own, but when friendship becomes the connecting link between two persons, all conflicts are removed and they become one.
