Belgian cherry beer Kriek (Shouting)
If you are a fan of beer and want to diversify your experience with an unexpected and absolutely amazing refreshing fruit aftertaste, we certainly recommend you Belgian cherry beer Kriek.
Kriek cherry beer is a variation of the Belgian beer Lambic, famous for its ancient brewing tradition. The name "Lambic" was inherited from the old Belgian city of Lembeek. And the word "Kriek" comes from the name of a variety of dark red cherries.
The recipe for cherry beer dates back to the time of the Crusades. Legend has it that a crusader returning from a crusade wanted to brew beer that resembled the blood of Christ. To make it, he added a bitter cherry to the beer. Since then, this cherry-flavored drink with a subtle almond flavor became extremely popular in Belgium and then all over Europe.
According to ancient recipes, Belgian brewers still use dried cherries today and add them to the beer before the fermentation. The ratio of cherry juice in beer is about 30%. The beverage acquires a deep rich color. Already brewed beer is aged for 2-3 months before being served.
More recently, another fruity variety of lambic has been released in Belgium: a sunny colored drink with a peach flavor and delicate aroma - "Lambic Peche". By the way, if you use raspberries instead of cherries, the result is a beautiful Belgian beer "Frambozen".
When you visit our Belgian brasserie Lambic, be sure to order a Belgian cherry beer "Kriek".
