A lot of Belgian breweries are surprisingly tiny operations, but that can't be said about the Chouffe. In 2006, the brewery was purchased by the much larger Duvel Moortgat, and it shows. This brewery and its surrounding area is really quite the enterprise by rural Belgian standards - there's the brewery itself, a tap room, another tap room that serves food, an adjacent full-service restaurant with a stocked trout pond behind it, and a gift shop. This all seems a bit "commercial" and United States/Disney-esque, especially after you've been traipsing around Belgium and rural France visiting decidedly non-commercial breweries that half the time were closed, much less have a freakin' gift shop. There's even a pond with a little island with a gnome-hut on it. It would have to try pretty hard to be more cutesy. Still, there's something to be said for this kind of corporatist professionalism, even if it does somewhat resemble visiting the Epcot Center, if it had a "Belgium" pavilion. You don't have to worry about it being open, which was a constant problem in visiting other breweries throughout the region. There will always be a wide, complete range of its beers available, both for on-site consumption and to take home. And of course, plenty of merch and swag featuring that lovable gnome! A Chouffe tulip glass is a must - and there's even Chouffe coffee and cream liqueurs available, of which we purchased a couple small samplers. Of course, there's also the beer. Even after the Chouffe's purchase by a larger brewery, the flagship La Chouffe strong blonde ale hasn't suffered all that much - it's still one of the better examples of the popular "Belgian Strong Pale Ale" style. I think it's got more going on than either Duvel and Delirium....more fruity, spicy, yeasty, while at the same time being a little cleaner than a La Fin Du Monde. I'd still rank it as my favorite easily-accessible example of the style.

I have lived in Europe for years and have come to accept poor service at restaurants…read more This one took the cake. I sat there for more than 20 mins and was not approached one time for service. There were multiple tables that came in after me and folks were served directly. I am 6'11" or 210 cm tall. Clearly the biggest person in the restaurant, so there is no reason I could not have been seen. Huge let down after traveling from Hawaii to my favorite brewery.

Great space, both indoors and outdoors and perfect for group gatherings and events. The actual brewery is located across the street with options to take a tour. Food is solid as well with a selection of good appetizers, sandwiches, burger, pizza, and pies.

From the owner: Alfa Bier is een onafhankelijke Limburgse bierbrouwerij en familiebedrijf, gevestigd in Thull,…read moreSchinnen, ook wel bekend als de poort van het Zuid-Limburgse Heuvelland. Al vijf generaties lang wordt hier bier gebrouwen door de familie Meens, op traditionele wijze en met oog voor kwaliteit. Wat Alfa Bier bijzonder maakt, is de combinatie van een traditionele brouwmethode volgens het Reinheitsgebot en het gebruik van natuurzuiver bronwater uit eigen bron. Alfa Bier vernieuwt regelmatig, maar de traditionele brouwmethode uit het oprichtingsjaar van de brouwerij is onveranderd gebleven. Bovendien is de Alfa Bierbrouwerij de enige brouwerij in Nederland met een door de overheid gecertificeerde natuurzuivere waterbron. Het bronwater vormt sinds 1870 de basis voor alle Alfa Bieren. Eén van de bekendste is het Alfa Edel Pils, dat internationaal werd bekroond als Beste Pils ter Wereld door World Beer Awards. Alfa Bier levert aan horecazaken en winkels, en verzorgt ook bierleveringen voor evenementen. Daarnaast zijn er volop mogelijkheden om de brouwerij te bezoeken. Er worden brouwerij rondleidingen en proeverijen georganiseerd. En in het Alfa Brouwerijcafé kunnen bezoekers in een gemoedelijke sfeer genieten van streekgerechten en natuurlijk een goed glas bier.

Liege is the type of city that you have to know the special places to go because they won't pop out in front of you. It was by mere luck that we ran across this lovely bakery and dessert lounge.

It's nothing but assorted pastries, chocolates, and plenty of other sweets to get lost in for the moment. We ordered hot chocolate, along with pies,pies and pies. The hot chocolate and desserts was magnificent!
