The Brewer's Tale
HeritageThe Brewery
Stella is Egypt's long-standing local lager, brewed by the Al Ahram Beverages Company in Cairo since 1897 — not to be confused with Belgium's Stella Artois. Al Ahram is now part of Heineken.
The Pour
A pale Egyptian lager: clear gold, light malt and a clean, gently bitter, refreshing finish built for the heat.
Egypt's Own Stella
A genuinely Egyptian institution stretching back to the 19th century — the everyday beer of Cairo, distinct from its better-known Belgian namesake.
At The Table
With Egyptian mezze and grills: kofta, grilled fish, tahina and a plate of mixed salads.
