In order to obtain a beer like no other, we have been adding whole sour cherries to our lambic for generations.

Our meeting with American importer Charles Finkel in the 1970s revolutionised the fruit beer segment. Charles convinced us to export our old kriek to the United States by boat. What we had not thought of is that the movement of the waves would reactivate the fermentation process and cause the corks to pop during the trip. It was like something out of The Adventures of Tintin. To prevent that from happening, we therefore developed an alternative production method for our kriek. We use fresh, not from concentrate, unsweetened cherry filtrate which we blend with lambic that is at least one year old before fermenting & macerating for up to 3 days and pasteurising the whole batch. So the corks don't pop.

They wouldn’t tell me what they were serving at the Beer Museum, but I suspect this was it.

F: thin, pink, quick gone. C: dark red, clear. A: a lot of cherries, hint of grenadine, lemon. T: cherries, light lemon, hint of woody, bit funky, taste is better than the artificial aroma, light to medium body, medium carbonation, not bad but still quite sweet, 25cl bottle from Delhaize Chazal @ Schaerbeek in Brussels.

0.25 l bottle from Pivoteka, Zagreb. Shared with lovely Anja. Deep ruby red, diminishing medium creamy pink head. Cherry Popsicle or bubblegum aroma. Cherry cake or yogurt, sweet with not enough sourness. Light body, soft to medium carbonation, moderate light fruity finish. Not really good, had much better kriek lambics.
