Quick quiz: How come La Chouffe Gnome Week has only four days?

Because they are gnomes.

Brasserie D’Achouffe, that wacky little brewery in the Belgian Ardennes, begins this short week tonight and it concludes Saturday with the World’s Smallest Toast. The tiny mug on the left, on top of the tiny coaster, holds less than an ounce of beer. You can toast several times without getting into trouble.

According to the press release, La Chouffe is celebrating its 6,666th anniversary — thus the Saturday toast at 6:66 p.m. Other events include tastings of limited release beers Biere Du Soleil and the Gnomegang collaboration.

Where will these be happening?

Not surprisingly, there’s a Facebook app for that.
