The
Brasserie d'Achouffe is a
Belgian brewery based in
Achouffe. It was founded in
1982 by two brothers-in-law, Pierre Gobron and Christian Bauweraerts, as a hobby. In
1984, Gobron decided to quit his job and to concentrate on his brewery, joined four years later by Bauweraerts. That year (
1988), they began to export the beer in
Quebec. In September 2006, the brewery was bought by brewery group Duvel Moortgat.
The brewing process of
LA CHOUFFE & Mc CHOUFFE
LA CHOUFFE & Mc CHOUFFE are brewed from spring water and crushed malt barley. This liquid, called “wort”, is pumped into boiling vats, where two types of hops (Styrie & Saaz) are added, as well as sugars and, for LA CHOUFFE, coriander.
After being cooled, the wort is transferred to fermenting vessels. Here, it is fermented into young Beer, thanks to fresh yeast. This young Beer is aged during two weeks, and then pumped into a centrifuge. Then we fill in the bottles or kegs with this Beer and with fresh yeast, to allow a second fermentation.
After three weeks, both
LA CHOUFFE and
Mc CHOUFFE leave the Brewery, to delight Beer lovers all around the world…
