Achouffe N’ICE CHOUFFE
Our brewery, founded in 1982, is nestled in the green heart of the Belgian Ardennes, and specialises in brewing high quality speciality beers. Our products are easily recognisable due to the friendly elf used to decorate the labels. Elves and other goblins are amongst the most well known characters in myths and legends from the Ardennes. Our spearhead product is LA CHOUFFE, a golden blonde ale whose freshness and fruity taste really make it stand out. Its dark sister, the Mc CHOUFFE, rightly deserves its title of ‘Scotch of the Ardennes’; its dark, full-flavoured texture is reminiscent of its Scottish cousins.

Brouwerij Corsendonk NV
Corsendonk Abbey in Oud-Turnhout, Belgium was founded through the munificence of Maria van Gelre, youngest daughter of Jan III, Duke of Brabant. You may recall that Jan I (Jan Primus) is today better known as Gambrinus. The monks of Corsendonk started a brewery in 1400, which flourished until 1784 when the abbey was closed by Austrian ruler Jozef II. In 1906 Antonius Keersmaekers founded a secular brewery to revive the monks’ brewing traditions. His award winning beers included Pater Noster (Our Father), a full-bodied, high fermentation brew of exquisite palate. Antonius’ grandson Jef now continues the family tradition of brewing this award-winning abbey ale, under license from the current owners…
