4.5%/vol. 12 EBU. 5 EBC.

Very smooth and tasty white. Low alc content made up for by taste and ease of drinking.

Brasserie d’Achouffe: imported by B. United Intl http://www.bunitedint.com. also see http://www.achouffe.be

One of the most popular and often imported breweries, and for good reason. I don’t remember all of the beers they had, but many of them were very good. Brasserie des Franches-Montagnes La Meule was also exceptional. The Italian Birrificio Montegioco Draco (with blueberries, but still good) was nice. I wasn’t a huge fan of the Demon Hunter Strong Ale. Italian Birreria Le Baladin Noël was also nice.

La Chouffe

the first Belgian I ever tried. One of my favs, and very nice glass with Chouffe gnome guy. awesome.

Mc Chouffe Scottish stile Ale. see the website for all the details. My least fav of their offerings, but still damned tasty, as matt will attest to.

N’Ice Chouffe barley wine. very good, despite the lame name.

Houblon Chouffe

double IPA / Tripel. Tastes like it sounds.

La Gnomette Part II Collaboration w/ Brooklyn. same recipe as Brooklyn’s BLAST with Chouffe yeast. much better than the Brooklyn version, which was also very tasty.
