#4 Liefmans Kriek Brut
Everything is special in the Liefmans Kriek Brut. First, it’s crafted by macerating cherries in an old brown beer, then it’s matured for a whole year and then it’s blended with various ages of Oud Bruin and Goudenband beer.

#9 Oude Kriek Oud Beersel

The result is an incredibly strong and full-bodied beer with the addition of liquid nitrogen that ensures the right pressure in the bottle.
#12 Cantillon Kriek
Lambics, sour cherries (200g per litre) and the right fermentation process can produce wondrous results. In this case, it’s the Cantillon Kriek. Fruity, almondy and perfectly refreshing, you can enjoy the changes in taste as the fruit component matures in the bottle.
#13 Kriek De Ranke
Like many other lambics, Kriek De Ranke is made by blending young and old soured pale ales together. Then this incredible mixture is blessed by the presence of fresh Polish cherries that go on to mature for six months.
The results? Incredible.

A kriek beer but make it FLOSS. Now, don’t get over-excited, it’s just an acronym that stands for Flemish Old Style Sours.

#16 Titanic Cherry Dark
Being a local source of pride – Titanic is brewed in Stoke on Trent- we particularly love the Titanic Cherry Dark.

You MUST try this.
