Ownership
AB InBev owns the brand and the Leuven brewery. The 1366 date belongs to the Den Hoorn brewery that the Artois brewery acquired in 1708.
Why Watchlist
Stella Artois labels carry "Anno 1366", the founding date of the Den Hoorn brewery in Leuven. AB InBev's brand page ties the beer to that brewery without stating the beer's launch year; standard histories date Stella Artois to 1926.
