Stella Artois is Belgium's best known lager beer, and it's made in Leuven. The history of the beer can be traced back to at least 1366 with a brewery dubbed Den Horen, or "the Horn". In 1717 Den Horen was under control of master-brewer Sebastien Artois, and thus for more than a century all the brewer's know-how was handed down from father to son.
In 1926, the brewery brought a barley beer onto the market and called it with the name "Stella", the Latin word for "Star".
