La Chouffe is a Belgian Golden Ale, which is the ultimate NOM NOM of beers for me, as I am enormously biased to the Beligans for their brews. According to the back of this large, funky looking bottle, “The legend of gnomes (chouffes) who once brewed in this mysterious region (the heart of Belgium’s Ardennes mountains) provides the inspiration for this eccentric bottle, conditioned, double fermented ale.” In plain English… gnomes know their shit when it comes to the brew. Slightly spicy, with a clean yet hoppy finish, I would recommend splurging on this 8% by volume deliciousness during the holiday season. I, for one, hope to find a gnome in my stocking this year… and by gnome, I mean beer.

Cheers! Nic
