Taste profile

Legend has it

Houblon is French for hops, and hop-pickers have a saint of their own: Arnold, who founded the abbey at Oudenburg in Flanders in the 11th century. One of the miracle tales says that when an epidemic struck and people were falling ill from the contaminated water, Arnold had them drink the monastery's beer instead, and it saved lives. He became the patron saint of Belgian brewers and of hop-pickers.

Beer stories travel from brewery to bar to guest, and rarely shrink on the way.

Interesting facts

Three hops
The beer is unfiltered, 9%, and brewed with three hop varieties that give it its bitterness.
The start
Achouffe began in 1982 with a 49-litre mash tun and less than 5,000 Belgian francs. Duvel Moortgat bought the brewery in 2006.
Far from home
From the village of Achouffe in the Ardennes, the beers now go to 72 countries.
Especially good with

Steak frites, steak tartare.

Frequently asked questions

(More frequently asked questions)

Can I taste several beers at once?

Yes, with the beer box you pick six beers from our 24 taps, served in smaller tasting glasses. The staff are happy to help you put your flight together.

Do you serve every beer in its proper glass?

Yes, just like in Belgium. Each brewery designs glassware to lift precisely their beer, and almost every beer here is served in its proper glass.

Does the beer selection change, or is it always the same?

Both: taps 1-16 are our permanent draughts, always on, while taps 17-24 are rotating guest taps, each beer stays on until the keg runs dry, then a new one takes its place. New bottles also arrive in the bottle cellar all the time. See what's pouring right now →
