The Ardennes
Come here to buy tour tickets to the Chouffe brewery (Brasserie d'Achouffe) or simply to stock up on Chouffe merchandise and takeaways.
Great choices are the rich, dark N'Ice winter beer, and the delicious Houblon Chouffe, which has the zingy hopped flavour of an IPA but all the strength of a powerful Belgian abbey beer (9%). However, be aware that prices aren't really bargains here compared with city supermarkets.
