"We've already told you that our family never does anything the way other people do. Kriek Lindemans is a good example of that.
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.
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."
