Fodor's Expert Review Stella Artois Brewery

Few realize "Stella," the pilsner of choice among European soccer fans, is even Belgian, but it traces its Leuven roots back to 1726. These days, it's part of the massive AB InBev company, which owns everything from Budweiser to Leffe. As you'd expect, the brewery is highly automated, making for an interesting gear change to the usual small brewers most beer tours frequent. Two-hour tours and tastings for individuals are held on Saturday from 3 pm (in English), with online booking in advance advised if you want to get a slot.
