A Seasonal Delight with Deep Notes of Thyme and Curaçao

N'Ice Chouffe, a celebrated winter ale from Brasserie d'Achouffe, is a dark, slightly hoppy beer enriched with thyme, curaçao, and orange peel. This Belgian Strong Dark Ale boasts an alcohol content of 10% and is recommended to be enjoyed from mid-October to mid-February, ideally by the fireplace. It's a beer that promises to warm the cockles of your heart during the chilly winter months, with a character so compelling that it's deemed essential for enduring the winter in the Valley of the Fairies​​​​​.

Brasserie d'Achouffe, nestled in the Belgian Ardennes, was founded in 1982 by Pierre Gobron and Chris Bauweraerts. It quickly transformed from a hobby to a significant player in the craft beer world, especially after being acquired by Duvel Moortgat in 2006. The brewery, known for its gnome-themed beers, produces a wide array of ales that have captured the hearts of beer lovers globally​.

N'Ice Chouffe pairs wonderfully with winter dishes such as braised chicory, mushrooms, tomatoes, game stews, black pudding, oysters, smoked salmon, sushi with soy sauce, and milk chocolate, offering a versatile profile that can enhance a variety of recipes.
