What is La Chouffe 0.0?
Brasserie d’Achouffe added an alcohol-free beer at the end of November 2022, Duvel Moortgat says. It was 0.4%, brewed with a yeast that doesn’t turn sugar into alcohol, Chouffe said. In March 2026 it announced a switch to 0.0%. The new version keeps Chouffe’s flavour-defining yeast and is then vacuum-distilled to remove the alcohol, Belgium’s VRT reported, and in Belgium it’s now sold as La Chouffe 0.0%. Chouffe’s UK site calls it Chouffe Alcohol Free, and Dry Drinker sells it as Chouffe Belgian Blonde, the name we used to list it under.
The brewer’s description: “Golden blond beer with a nice foam head”, with a taste that’s “Fresh, fruity, with spicy touches”. It suggests drinking it with vegetables such as asparagus, with veal, with fish such as smoked salmon, and with ripened hard cheeses. The 0.0% recipe includes coriander seed, its label shows.
Our 8.1 is for the 0.4% version; we haven’t tasted the 0.0% yet. The 0.0% has 13 kcal per 100ml on its Belgian label, against 23 for the 0.4%, and it adds glucose syrup, invert sugar and sugar. It’s a Belgian blond ale, not a wheat beer: we file Belgian ales with our wheat beers. For more, see our best Belgian alcohol-free beers.
