Discover the flavor of La Chouffe Blonde Ale (ABV 8%) on tap at home, with your friends, or outdoors. With this new 5 liter, self-contained mini keg, there is no need for a tap or additional tools. All the elements that allow for perfect service, like at the bar, are directly included on the keg. For perfect on-tap La Chouffe:
- Place the mini keg in the fridge for at least 10 hours before use (24 hours is even better)! If the keg is not refrigerated enough, there may be too much foam during service.
- Do not shake and store upright.
- After opening, the beer is consumable for 30 days with guaranteed pressure quality.
La Chouffe is their flagship beer -- a Belgian Blonde Ale whose recipe, the brewers claim, was whispered into their ears by the last survivor of a colony of brewing gnomes. The brew, spiced with coriander and bottle-conditioned, is a sunny pale gold color with a thick white head. Aromas of citrus, caramel, mango and banana give rise to a more complex flavor profile as the sweet and citrus are balanced by earthy yeast and subtle hop bitterness. The finish is silky and dry and conceals a heady 8% ABV. 5 liter mini keg is approximately 11” tall and 6” in diameter.
Brewery Information:
Named for Achouffe, the village where it began or (depending on the storyteller) for a colony of beer-brewing gnomes reputed to have once lived in the area, the D'Achouffe Brewery was founded in the late 1970s by brothers-in-law Pierre Gobron and Chris Bauweraerts, first as a hobby, and then as a full time venture.
Nestled in the green hills of the Belgian Ardennes, the brewery released its first ale to high acclaim in 1982 and has flourished ever since. A meticulous attention to quality, a tried and true application of brewer's savvy and innovation, and an irrepressible talent for promotion (the popular gnomes appear on every label) helped propel the brewery to its current success.
Today D'Achouffe (acquired by the Duvel Moortgat brewery group in 2006) exports award-winning ales to over 40 countries around the world and hosts more than 10,000 thirsty brewery visitors each year.
