Artesian Stella Behind The Arras

If it weren't for Hamlet, nobody would know what an "arras" is. Had the tapestry behind which Polonius hides been called a tapestry, then the word "arras" would have been tossed into the river of lexical Lethe and sunk silently into the world's oblivion.

It is an "arras" because the town of "Arras", in what's now north eastern France, was once a stronghold of embroidery, just as Chesterfield must be full of sofas, and Parma full of pigs. "Arras" was called "Arras" because it was the capital of "Artois", from which must have come the "Artois family". The scion of this noble line was "Sebastian Artois", who, in 1708, became the master brewer of the Den Horen brewery. By 1717 he had got the brewery renamed in his honour. And the rest is, as they say, is lager: that unnecessarily sweet concoction known to the world as "Stella Artois" or "Wife-Beater".

"Artois" is a shortening of the post-classical Latin "Artesiensis". If that word sounds familiar, it is the fault of monks digging holes.

Carthusian monks in the lowlands of "Artois" (or "Artesiensis", as it then was) would tunnel their way through the impervious rocks beneath them, until they came to the pervious rocks that were sodden with water. This water was being pushed down from the highlands but now, thanks to our in-habited friends, could spurt to the surface.

Such "Artesian wells" became known as "Artesian Wells".

"Artesian" comes from the Latin "Atrabatensis", which was itself just a variation of "Atrabates". What was "Atrabates"? Wrong question! Who were the "Atrabates"? They were a tribe, a Gaulish tribe who fought Caesar and lost and did all sorts of other exciting things, but never expected that they would become wells, tapestries, and Bad Lager.

"Atrabates", incidentally, just means "inhabitants". However, the Carthusian order does not admit ants.

Stella Artois, Brewed by InBev Belgium

Style: Pale Lager

Leuven, Belgium

Stella Artois

...
By 1366 roots of our brewing tradition had been established in the city of Leuven, Belgium - which is also where the original Den Hoorn brewery was founded. Den Hoorn laid the foundation for the quality taste and standard Stella Artois is known for. The symbol of the Den Hoorn Brewery is proudly displayed in Stella Artois' cartouche to this day.

"Sebastian Artois" was admitted to the Leuven Brewer’s Guild as a Brew Master in 1708, and only nine years later purchased the Den Hoorn brewery. In memoriam, you can find his last name on the brewery and every bottle of Stella Artois around the world.

The Artois Brewery was so beloved internationally and locally, a special batch was created as a Christmas gift to the people of Leuven. That special batch was the first to officially include "Stella" in its name. "Stella", meaning "star" in Latin, pays homage to this original occasion, accompanied by a star on every bottle.

So next time you see a bottle of Stella Artois, take note of the rich history paired with the rich flavor on and in every bottle.

Geschichte

Die Anfänge der Brauerei gehen bis 1366 zurück. In den herzöglichen Zinsbüchern wird erstmals die Brauerei "Den Horen" erwähnt. 1537 ist die Brauerei das größte Unternehmen der Stadt "Löwen" (fläm. "Leuven", frz. "Louvain"). "Sebastien Artois" wird 1708 Braumeister bei "Den Horen". Im Jahr 1717 übernimmt er die Brauerei und gibt ihr den Namen "Brouwerij Artois". Das Weihnachtsbier "Stella" ("Stern") wird 1926 auf den Markt gebracht. 1988 wurde "Stella Artois" Teil der internationalen Brauereigruppe "Interbrew". Die backsteinernen Anlagen mit Hafenanschluss im Norden der flämischen Stadt Löwen wurden 1993 verlassen und durch eine neue Produktionsstätte in Löwen ersetzt.
