Stella-Artois beer has a long history! In 1366 already, the brewery "Den Hoorn" (the Horn, in Flemish, still present on the current logo) was already producing this very famous beer.

The repossession of thr company by Sébastien Artois in 1708 is the beginning of a success story.

The brand Stella-Artois is born in 1926 and the beer becomes famous worldwide at the same time.The brewery is based in Leuven, Belgium.

Maybe the brewery has to be modernized due to the increasing demand in beer production?

Anyway, for our Urban Explorer happiness, it was possible to explore this huge beautiful industrial brewery. Extremely well preserved, no theft, no tags, all the machines are still there, sleeping and slowly rusting and waiting for a second life? Profusion of copper and colors!

It seems that this brewery closed down in the middle of the 90's.

But this is for sure a gret original location to explore, with an uncertain fate...
