Stella Artois

Stella Artois 5% ABV (5.2% in some markets) lager originating from Leuven, Belgium, predominantly brewed in the United Kingdom. It is named Stella after the Latin word for "star".

Although Belgium is best known internationally for its ales, bottom-fermented pilsner lagers such as Stella Artois head the list for domestic consumption, making up almost 75% of Belgian beer production. Stella is promoted as an international brand by its brewer, AB InBev. In its home market of Belgium, however, it is marketed, priced and sold as a regular lager. Despite its success internationally, the number 1 selling beer in Belgium is its sister beer Jupiler.

In the UK, Canada and New Zealand a lower ABV version is also available, called respectively Stella Artois 4% and Stella Artois Light-Légère (in New Zealand Stella Artois Légère). This variant was launched to compete alongside fellow Inbev lager Beck's Vier and to address negative associations of the brand.
