Chouffe tastes even better when it’s shared in good company. There are so many gnomes in the Valley of the Fairies who enjoy Chouffe that there isn’t always enough to go round with a 33cl bottle.
This is why, in 2005, they played one of their best tricks on us: in the dead of night, they sneaked into the brewery to replace the 33cl bottles with other bottles, these ones much larger than the gnomes themselves. By the time the master brewer had noticed anything was amiss, several Big Chouffe had already been bottled.
He was pleasantly surprised by the idea, and it was decided that these mammoth 1.5-litre Chouffe bottles would be sold as collector’s items, with a different artist chosen to illustrate the back label each year.
They may be small in stature, but the gnomes see it big! They are always looking for ways to share La Chouffe with even more people. So, why not produce magnum bottles? And if only those one-and-a-half litre bottles featured an original illustration every year?
