Essential Product and Producer Details

La Chouffe is a legendary Belgian Blonde Ale brewed by Brasserie d’Achouffe, nestled in the Ardennes region of Belgium. With its iconic gnome branding and bold 8% ABV, La Chouffe is a strong golden ale known for its delicate spice, soft fruit esters, and dry, lightly bitter finish.

Brewed with Coriander and Belgian yeast, it offers the depth and complexity typical of great Belgian ales, while remaining remarkably drinkable and balanced for its strength.

This is a perfect crowd-pleaser for fans of Belgian beers, craft drinkers seeking something unique, or anyone wanting to add a touch of European flair to their home bar or event.

Tasting Notes

• Appearance: Cloudy golden blonde with a thick, creamy white head

• Aroma: Fruity esters (banana, pear), clove, coriander spice, and mild hops

• Flavour: Lightly sweet with stone fruit and spice, balanced by a dry, slightly bitter finish

• Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied, effervescent, warming alcohol without heaviness

Food Pairings

La Chouffe's complexity and higher ABV make it an excellent pairing for:

• Rich Meats: Roast duck, pork belly, glazed ham

• Spicy Dishes: Thai curries, Moroccan tagines, spicy sausages

• Aged Cheeses: Blue cheese, aged gouda, comté

• Seafood: Mussels in white wine, grilled scallops

• Desserts: Poached pears, apple tart, crème brûlée

About Brasserie d’Achouffe

Founded in 1982 in the small village of Achouffe in Belgium’s Ardennes, Brasserie d’Achouffe began as a small hobby project between two brothers-in-law. Their first beer — La Chouffe — quickly gained a cult following across Belgium and beyond for its distinctive character and branding.

Today, La Chouffe is recognised as one of Belgium’s iconic beers, known for its playful gnome mascot, bold flavours, and high drinkability despite its strength. The brewery continues to innovate while maintaining traditional Belgian brewing values.
