Beligum brewers Lindemans have changed the way the world views beer thanks to their lambic beer Kriek. Kriek is s made from a lambic base. The difference, however, lies in the maceration of 25% filtrate of fresh sour cherries before the beer is filtered and pasteurised. Deliciously fruity with the fresh flavour of freshly picked cherries. Its sharp and full-bodied flavour gives way to a perfect balance between sweet and sour. It pairs wonderfully with terrines, bread with cottage cheese and herbs and carbonate flamande, a traditional flemish stew.

Brewery Info

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

After meeting with American importer Charles Finkel in the 1970s, they revolutionised the fruit beer segment. Charles convinced Lindemans to export their old kriek to the United States by boat. What they 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, Lindemans developed an alternative production method for our kriek. They use fresh, not from concentrate, unsweetened cherry filtrate which they 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.

Due to the use of filtrate and pasteurisation, this kriek is sweeter and fruitier than Old Kriek Cuvée René, which undergoes a second fermentation process in the bottle. Thanks to its innovative flavour, it was a resounding success both here in Belgium as well as around the world. Nowadays, it is undoubtedly the reference kriek for consumers.
