Stella Artois from Belgium

ベルギーで一番名の知れたビールです。ステラ　アルトワはクリスマスビールとして世界で初めて商業化されたビールです。歴史も古く1366年創業、セバスチャン・アルトワ氏が見習いとして入社し、その後オーナーになったのが1717年。氏の孫であるレオナルドが事業を飛躍的に拡大させました。1926年にこのステラ　アルトワが発表され、ベルギーを代表するビール会社として不動のものにしました。

Stella Artois was brewed first as a Christmas beer. "Stella" means star in Latin and early advertisements showed the beer against a background of the Christmas Star. The beer became so popular that it was soon brewed all the year round.

Stella Artois traces its origins to the Den Horen (the Horn) tavern that brewed beer from 1366. Mr. Sebastien Artois was an apprentice brewer at Den Horen, graduated as a master brewer and bought the brewery in 1717. His grandson Leonard expanded the business and bought 2 rival companies in Leuven. Den Horen Artois became one of majour commercial breweries in Europe. The company achieved greater fame and fortune in 1926 when it brewed Pils-style beer, Atella Artois, that is now Belgium's best-known.

It is Pilsner beer but good taste in spite of light taste. Rich foam.
