About the Brewery
Stella Artois is brewed at the historic Den Hoorn Brewery in Leuven, Belgium, where brewing traditions date back to 1366. The Artois name was added in 1708 in honour of head brewer Sebastian Artois, whose dedication to quality helped shape the brand’s enduring legacy. Today, Stella Artois is a symbol of Belgian craftsmanship, recognised for its consistent quality and signature chalice pour.
The brewery combines centuries-old methods with modern innovation, ensuring every batch reflects its original commitment to excellence. Through the PerfectDraft Keg format, Stella Artois delivers that same Belgian expertise directly to Irish drinkers, preserving its trademark freshness and flavour.
Food Pairings
Stella Artois pairs beautifully with light dishes such as roast chicken, seafood, or grilled vegetables. Its crisp, clean profile complements creamy pasta, mild curries, and fresh salads. For a simple yet elegant pairing, enjoy it with moules frites or soft cheeses like brie and camembert. Its refreshing finish makes it ideal alongside spicy or salty foods.
