Legend of the brew
La Chouffe is a Belgian Ale, which is unfiltered and re-fermented in the bottle. Marcel, the most fearless of our dwarfs, is the main artisans involved in making La Chouffe. He goes around the brewing equipment in brewery Achouffe, quickly tastes the blond beer and shares the brew with beer lovers everywhere. The recipe of La Chouffe was found by the gnomes of the Valley of the Fairies in an old grimoire. They say it accounts for their joie de vivre, or maybe they just really like to sneak a drink.
A gulp of this beer will awaken the gnome inside you.

Chouffe beers need to be poured very carefully. To get a frothy foam pour 2/3 of the beer at an angle of 45°. With the glass upright, pour in the rest of the beer and get a wonderfully thick and creamy head.
