Hey Hive Family
Imagine a huge beer
here you get a real huge one
so let us travel the world again
First Impressions: A Belgian Classic Supersized
If you know La Chouffe, you know the cheeky gnome, the fruity blonde taste, and the mischievous charm in every sip.
But when the brewery says BIG, they mean it.
Enter the BIG CHOUFFE Collector’s Edition 2025 by HELLO a magnificent 1.5-liter bottle that transforms this beloved Belgian blonde into an event, not just a drink. The perfect present for my friend who loves „big“ and as well good beer.
Imagine that classic golden hue, that creamy white head, and those bright esters, but now in a bottle so big you basically need a small party (or a very quiet weekend alone) to finish it.
Flavor Profile: The Same Icon, Bigger Stage
BIG CHOUFFE doesn’t reinvent the taste—it celebrates it. Pour it out, and you’re greeted by the signature citrusy esters, gentle coriander spice, and that rounded sweetness La Chouffe fans adore.
At 8% ABV, it’s sturdy enough to warm you on a chilly evening, but playful enough to sip on a sunny terrace like mine.
The mouthfeel is light but creamy, with lively carbonation that makes every pour from that giant bottle feel like a small, fizzy festival.
Expect flavors of banana, soft malt, a touch of pepper, and that dry, lightly hoppy snap in the finish—Belgian brewing finesse through and through.
What Makes It Special
It’s not just the taste. It’s the ritual. The BIG CHOUFFE 2025 is a collector’s piece for the serious gnome fan. This 1.5-liter format feels like you’re uncorking a champagne bottle, only more fun, more Belgian, and more likely to come with funny stories once the gnome works his magic.
Each year’s edition gets its own label art and small design twist by HELLO, adding a bit of fresh mischief to the Chouffe universe.
It’s the perfect centerpiece for a gathering, a gift for a die hard beer buddy, or that brag worthy item you pull out at the right moment to win „host-of-the-year“.
The Look: A Gnome with Grandeur
The BIG CHOUFFE 2025 keeps the iconic red-capped gnome front and center, this time with special collector’s artwork by HELLO. Playful, cheeky, and a bit festive.
It’s a label that says, “I’m here to party, but in a classy Belgian way.”
The bottle itself is a sight to behold: the hefty 1.5-liter size, the bold branding, and the cork and cage closure make it feel like you’re opening a piece of brewing folklore because you basically are. Read more at their website http://www.chouffe.com
The Brewery Tiny Gnome, Big Legacy
Brasserie d’Achouffe, hidden in the rolling hills of the Belgian Ardennes, has been crafting this charming blonde since 1982. What began as a small hobby project by two friends has become one of Belgium’s most recognized craft beers, with the gnome grinning from bars and bottle shops all over the world.
Despite global fame, the brewery keeps its production deeply rooted in Ardennes spring water, local character, and playful marketing that never takes itself too seriously—except when it comes to quality.
Fun fact: while the standard La Chouffe bottle is perfect for a solo moment or a dinner for two, the BIG CHOUFFE is the brewery’s way of reminding us that beer should be shared, stories should be told, and life should be celebrated preferably with a gnome nearby.
Final Thoughts: A Celebration Worth Uncorking
The BIG CHOUFFE Collector’s Edition 2025 by HELLO is more than just a giant bottle of beer.
it’s a statement piece for your table
A nod to Belgium’s playful brewing culture, and an excuse to gather your favorite people (or just really test your own limits).
It has all the sunny, fruity, spicy joy you love in La Chouffe, but with extra laughs when you pour pint after pint from that grand 1.5-liter bottle.
So here’s to the gnome may he never stop brewing up excuses for us to raise a glass.
Prost, santé, cheers and pls my friend --> save me a glass.

@Detlev loves HIVE
Looks pretty fancy :))
It is.
... and what a great present
I've never seen this type of beer bottle in Brazil. If it were on a shelf, I'd imagine it was wine or champagne. I'll be more careful when I travel.
The bottle is very attractive, the only detail you mentioned that put me off was the pepper, something I am intolerant to.
There is as well a 3l one available here I. Belgium.
;-)
They know how to impress.
