About This Beer
Stella Artois Unfiltered PerfectDraft Keg celebrates the roots of Belgian brewing heritage. Brewed in Leuven, Belgium, this unfiltered version of the classic Stella Artois lager brings drinkers closer to the beer’s natural state — unpasteurised, unfiltered, and full of character.
Inspired by the brewery’s early techniques from 1366, Stella Artois Unfiltered uses the same Saaz hops and malted barley that define its iconic taste, but omits the filtration step. This preserves the yeast in the beer, creating a richer body and a slightly hazy golden hue. The result is a lager that feels more authentic and alive, delivering gentle spice, biscuit malt, and subtle floral undertones.
Each 6L PerfectDraft Keg delivers the authentic Stella Artois experience with added complexity, keeping the beer fresh, crisp, and perfectly poured every time. It’s the perfect choice for those who appreciate classic European brewing traditions and the sophistication of premium Belgian beer.

About the Brewery
Stella Artois was first brewed in the city of Leuven, Belgium, tracing its origins back to the Den Hoorn brewery in 1366. The brand as we know it today was launched in 1926 as a special Christmas beer, and it quickly became a global symbol of Belgian brewing excellence.
For nearly a century, Stella Artois has balanced innovation with tradition — crafting beers that are refined yet approachable. The unfiltered version continues that legacy, paying homage to the original brewing methods while appealing to today’s growing appreciation for natural, less-processed beers.
Food Pairings
Stella Artois Unfiltered pairs beautifully with a wide range of dishes. Try it alongside roast chicken, grilled salmon, or creamy pasta for an elegant complement. Its crisp bitterness and smooth malt backbone also cut through rich, savoury foods like cheese boards, charcuterie, and buttery seafood. For lighter pairings, it enhances salads with citrus dressings or Mediterranean sharing plates.
