E-Malt.com News article: US: Stella Artois to be available in new unique aluminum can

Stella Artois, the world’s best-selling Belgian beer, will be available for the first time in a unique 440ml (14.9-ounce) aluminum can, beginning April 1, Anheuser-Busch announced on March, 24.

The sleek, silver can features the silhouette of Stella Artois’ signature chalice glass, and will be sold nationwide in 4- and 10-pack configurations. The 10-pack will be a space-saving, easy-to-open refrigerator pack called “Pour le Fridge” (French for “for the fridge”).

The new Stella Artois can will allow beer connoisseurs to enjoy their favorite Belgian lager at outdoor occasions, such as food and wine festivals, where glass bottles and signature chalices may not be permitted.

Stella Artois has a pleasantly bitter flavor and refreshing finish that distinguishes it from other European lagers. When possible, Stella Artois should be served in its signature chalice, which showcases its rich, golden color while releasing the beer's flavor and aroma, the brewer recommends.
