Atlantic Lager is inspired by Stella Artois. Brief background on this Iconic beer: The Den Hoorn brewery in Leuven was opened in 1366 when it was a tavern brewing its own beer for sale to hunters under the sign of a hunting horn.
In 1926, Brouwerij Artois launched Stella as a Christmas beer. By 1960, about 100 million gallons of Stella Artois were being produced annually.
In 1993 total annual production volume of Stella Artois exceeded one billion litres. The original UK strength of Stella Artois was 5.2% and 4.8% from 2008 till 2020. According to Freddy Delvaux, former head of the in-house laboratory, the Belgian version was 33 IBU when he joined the lab in 1973, compared to just 20 IBU in 2014. Atlantic Lager is also 20 IBU to match the modern Stella.
