Lindemans Kriek Fruit Beer - 25 CL

We've already told you that our family never does anything like other people do. Kriek Lindemans is a good example of this.To obtain a beer like no other, brewers have been adding whole sour cherries to our lambic for generations.Our meeting with American importer Charles Finkel in the 1970s revolutionized the fruit beer segment. Charles convinced us to export our Oude Kriek to the United States by boat. What the brewers hadn't considered was that the movement of the waves would reactivate the fermentation process and cause the corks to pop during the journey. It was like something out of The Adventures of Tintin. To prevent this, the brewers developed an alternative production method for our Kriek. We use fresh, not from concentrate, unsweetened cherry filtrate which the brewers mix with lambic that is at least one year old before the brewers ferment and macerate for a maximum of 3 days and pasteurize the entire batch. So the corks don't pop.Due to the use of filtrate and pasteurization, this Kriek is sweeter and fruitier than Oude Kriek Cuvée René, which undergoes a second fermentation process in the bottle. Thanks to its innovative taste, it was a resounding success both here in Belgium and around the world. Today, it is undoubtedly the reference Kriek for consumers.
