The deal with the Lawn Tennis Association (LTA) guarantees the event which has become the traditional fore runner to the Wimbledon championships.
The event, held at the Queen’s Club, last year celebrated its 25th anniversary.
Said Callum Mackay, head of media and marketing services for Interbrew UK: “I am particularly pleased to have secured this extension to our sponsorship.
“The evidence is clear that the Stella Artois Championships makes a major contribution to both the performance of the brand and to international mens’ tennis.
“During the past 25 years, the tournament has established itself as the important form guide to Wimbledon and has helped us drive Stella Artois to the number one premium lager in the UK.”
Added John Crowther, chief executive of the LTA: “They have established the tournament as an international event of immense significance for any player aspiring to win the championships at Wimbledon. This new contract will underpin the pre-Wimbledon tournaments and is of vital importance to British tennis.”
Meanwhile, KIA Motors has committed to a three-year agreement with the LTA worth up to £500,000 to grass roots competition in the sport.
KIA, whose involvement in tennis also extends to sponsorship of the Australian Open Grand Slam tournament and a global partnership with the ITF Davis Cup, will be the title sponsor of the National Club League - the largest competitive singles tennis league in the country.
