La Chouffe Beer Glass, 33 cl

Product Information

This beer will keep in the bottle quite readily, for up to 36 months, and for one year in the barrel. Up to three years after bottling its taste and colour will evolve. Best stored in a cool and dark space. Barrels should be stored upside-down to encourage the yeast to mingle. Bottles must be stored in a vertical position.

A great, full-in-the-mouth thirst quencher, with the fruity aromas of peaches and apricot, citrusy touches, coriander and a subtle hoppiness. The beer has an amazingly pleasant taste with its combined herbal, malty and fruity aromas. La Chouffe is a high fermentation beer that re-ferments in both the barrel and the bottle. After the main fermentation and maturation, the re-fermentation is encouraged by the addition of sugar and yeast, just before bottling. Ingredients La Chouffe and Houblon are both strong blond beers. La Chouffe has an ABV of 8% whereas Chouffe Houblon is 9% and was the first Belgian IPA to be brewed. Both have won numerous beer awards.

La Chouffe is Brasserie d’Achouffe's star brew. This strong blond ‘gnome beer’, first brewed in 1982, today accounts for 80 per cent of the brewery’s output. Not only did the brewers make history with this, their first Ardennes tripel, but the story of the beer’s origins also went down a storm: how it was brewed from an original recipe, whispered into the brewers’ ear by gnomes from the Houffalize area. We often get asked what the word CHOUFFE means and the answer is simple – it’s a made up word by the brothers who own the brewery, however most Belgian beer drinkers associate it with the beers with the gnomes on. In the unlikely event of any broken glass we would recommend to leave the broken glass in the box and only extract those bottles that are undamaged. Then dispose of the box, including broken glass, safely in an appropriate manner. The beer has an ABV of 8 percent, which qualifies it for the pale strong ale style. It is barely present in the flavor and aroma of the beer as it is well-masked. The bitterness level is high, although the exact IBU is unknown. The beer has 250 calories in every 12 ounces, which is a pretty high level. Keep this in mind when calculating your dietary intake every day. Also, it has 4.16 grams of carbs and less than one gram of fat and protein. The beer is not keto-friendly or suitable for those that cannot consume gluten. History
