Even if it is brewed in Belgium
for the French market
Stella Artois is a 5.2%
abv global
lager first brewed in
Leuven, Belgium in
1926 as a
Christmas brew, and named
Stella after the
Latin for "star". Colloquially known as Stella or "
wifebeater", it is the best selling
premium lager in the
UK beer market, and is promoted as an international brand by
InBev. In its home market of Belgium, however, it is marketed, priced and sold as a regular lager. It is brewed in
Belgium and the
United Kingdom, as well as other countries including New Zealand.
