Who are Chouffe?
Two brothers-in-law, Pierre Gobron and Chris Bauweraerts, started brewing in a garage belonging to Chris’ mother-in-law in Achouffe, Chouffe says, and produced their first batch, 49 litres, on 27 August 1982, “with the little money they have”. In 1986 they bought the farm they’d been brewing in. A gnome from Ardennes legend became the brewery’s logo.
La Chouffe, an 8% Belgian blond, is its best-known beer. In September 2006 Duvel Moortgat took over the brewery, which still brews, bottles and markets its beers in Achouffe. Duvel Moortgat calls itself “an independent family of authentic craft breweries”, but because Achouffe is owned by a larger brewer, we don’t show it as independent.
Chouffe’s alcohol-free beer
Achouffe added an alcohol-free blond at the end of November 2022, Duvel Moortgat says: 0.4%, brewed with a yeast that doesn’t turn sugar into alcohol. In March 2026 Chouffe announced that La Chouffe 0.0 would replace it. The new version keeps Chouffe’s flavour-defining yeast and is then vacuum-distilled to remove the alcohol, Belgium’s VRT reported. Chouffe describes it as fresh and fruity, with spicy touches, and it has 13 kcal per 100ml on its Belgian label.
Our 8.1 is for the 0.4% version, which we listed as Chouffe Belgian Blonde; we haven’t tasted the 0.0% yet. It’s a Belgian blond ale, and we file Belgian ales with our wheat beers. Chouffe also launched Chouffe Cherry 0.0 in the UK in 2026, a 0.0% version of its 8% cherry beer, which went into Asda from April.

Where to buy La Chouffe 0.0
Dry Drinker had cases of 6, 12 and 24 bottles on 28 October 2026, at £19.99 for six, but its listing still gives about 0.5% and 23 kcal alongside a photo of the 0.0% bottle, so check which version it sends. Wise Bartender had single bottles of the 0.4% version at £3.60. Those are affiliate links. Chouffe’s March 2026 press release says Asda sells La Chouffe 0.0%, but we couldn’t check Asda’s website. We didn’t find it at Tesco, Sainsbury’s or Morrisons. On 29 October 2026 The Alcohol Free Co had Chouffe Cherry 0.0 at £23.92 for six and Dry Drinker at £23.34; Wise Bartender doesn’t list it.
