Beer Pick
N’Ice Chouffe
Brasserie d’Achouffe, Belgium
Available in 11.2-ounce 4-pack bottles
Profile
Known for its little gnomes and big Belgian beers, Brasserie d’Achouffe brings out N’Ice Chouffe for the holidays. It’s a smooth but strong and spicy dark beer, flavored with orange peel and thyme. At 10% alcohol, it’s dangerously drinkable, but surprisingly food friendly, and perfect for a cold winter night and a roaring fire.
Pair with
The gnomes of Brasserie d’Achouffe recommend pairing N’Ice Chouffe with oysters, smoked salmon and sushi with soy sauce, as well as game, stews and black pudding. I think it’s great with chocolate.
