Stella Artois is a Belgian pilsner lager known for its crisp, clean taste with floral notes, balanced malt sweetness, and hop bitterness, owned by Anheuser-Busch InBev. It originated in Leuven, Belgium, with roots tracing back to the Den Hoorn brewery (founded 1366), and was first brewed as a Christmas beer in 1926, named "Stella" (star) for the occasion and "Artois" after brewmaster Sebastian Artois. It's often served in a signature chalice and is brewed globally, with an ABV typically around 5%
