Brasserie d’Achouffe is one of Belgium’s most beloved craft breweries, born in the green hills of the Ardennes and instantly recognisable by its iconic gnome imagery. Founded in 1982, the brewery began as a small, imaginative project between two brothers-in-law — and has since grown into a world-renowned name celebrated for its expressive, characterful Belgian ales.
Their beers are defined by bright, aromatic profiles, playful spice, and a signature Ardennes freshness. La Chouffe, the flagship blonde, delivers citrus, coriander, and a lively hop lift, while Mc Chouffe brings a deeper, malt-forward richness with notes of caramel and dark fruit. Seasonal and speciality releases, from Houblon Chouffe’s bold hop character, to N’Ice Chouffe’s warming winter spice, all carry that same whimsical yet premium craftsmanship.
Despite their playful branding, the brewing philosophy is serious: natural ingredients, traditional Belgian techniques, and a commitment to expressive flavour. The result is a range of beers that feel joyful, distinctive, and expertly made.
