Stella Artois hails from Leuven, Belgium where it was first made in 1926 by Brouwerij Artois—while it was brewed in Belgium for years, that is not the case as of late. Now, Stella Artois is made in the United States and distributed throughout the country. However, each batch of beer still gets approval from brewers in Belgium to ensure it’s living up to the brewery’s high historical standards, and it still follows the authentic recipe. Stella Artois is owned by Anheuser-Busch, a large American beer company that probably makes a lot of your favorite beers (and seltzers!).
