La Chouffe

At the end of the seventies, two brothers-in-law, Pierre Gobron and Chris Bauweraerts, decided to create their own beer in their own brewery. With little money initially committed they started what fans of the brewery call a "Chouffe story". From the small village Achouffe in the Ardennes this is a micro brewery success story.

So what is a chouffe? A red hatted, long-bearded gnome that’s a part of local folklore...

La Chouffe

The spearhead brew golden ale, strong, spicy and lightly hoppy, La Chouffe is bottle re-fermented, unfiltered, unpasteurised and without any additives.

McChouffe

It's dark sister, the McChouffe rightly deserves its title of  ‘Scotch of the Ardennes’ with its dark, full-flavoured texture is reminiscent of its Scottish cousins.

Houblon Chouffe

An ‘Indian Pale ale’ type of beer, with a harmonious balance between a marked bitterness (three types of hops are used to make it) and a pleasant fruitiness.
