It has an alcoholic content of 4.8 and 5.2% ABV and was first brewed by Brouwerij Artois (the Artois Brewery) in Leuven, Belgium, in 1926.

The original Stella Artois is not gluten-free. However, in August 2018, Stella Artois broadened its product range with the launch of a gluten-free beer variant, after Carlsberg brought its own gluten-free lager to the UK several years ago.
It is clearly labeled as Stella Artois Gluten Free and is available in most supermarkets across the UK.
