To support the hospitality sector in the UK, Stella Artois is introducing a campaign for the summer so that customers who order two chalices of Stella Artois will receive a pack of exclusive, limited-edition Crisps Artois to share.
Crisps Artois were purposefully created to pair perfectly with Stella Artois. Made with British potatoes, chips are enhanced with smoked salt and savory-sweet black garlic. These chips are launching exclusively in the On-Trade, and it's the only way consumers will be able to get a taste of Crisps Artois.
On the crisps packets, consumers will find a QR code that they can scan in order to make a donation to Hospitality Action, the leading charity supporting the On-Trade.
