Gnomes Love Beer

Brasserie d'Achouffe is a brewery based in Belgium, owned by Duval Moortgat. They've been brewing beer in Achouffe since 1982. Why do I care? I care because their identity is tied to their gnome logo, of course.

The logo was created shortly after the brewery was founded, drawn by a daughter of a colleague, influenced by an unnamed episode of an unnamed television show involving a gnome themed painting sold at an auction.

Monsters and Mysteries

There is a television show all about cryptozoological monster legends on the Destination America channel called Monsters and Mysteries. A recent episode devoted a part of the show to a woman from Porterville, California, near the Sierra Mountains who claimed to have been tormented by "evil" gnomes. I tried to find the clip from the episode about the gnomes, but I could only find the entire 43 minute episode. I did find the poster advertising the episode, though. You can buy the episode for 2 bucks and watch it on YouTube... which is ridiculous. I didn't realize YouTube was a prescription site.


The same story is reported in the website Weird Fresno, another blogspot blog about strange, cryptozoological, haunting, and supernatural stories from the Fresno, CA area. The article is linked to that picture to the left.









Mysterious Universe also wrote about the same woman and the same farmhouse. Check out their story about it, linked to the picture to the left also. Both of the these stories are free. Unlike Destination America, these two sites aren't money grubbing capitalists.
