Belgian cherry beer Kriek (Shouting)
If you are a fan of beer and want to diversify your experience with an unexpected and absolutely amazing refreshing fruit aftertaste, we certainly recommend you Belgian cherry beer Kriek.
Kriek cherry beer is a variation of the Belgian beer Lambic, famous for its ancient brewing tradition. The name "Lambic" was inherited from the old Belgian city of Lembeek. And the word "Kriek" comes from the name of a variety of dark red cherries.
The recipe for cherry beer dates back to the time of the Crusades. Legend has it that a crusader returning from a crusade wanted to brew beer that resembled the blood of Christ. To make it, he added a bitter cherry to the beer. Since then, this cherry-flavored drink with a subtle almond flavor became extremely popular in Belgium and then all over Europe.
According to ancient recipes, Belgian brewers still use dried cherries today and add them to the beer before the fermentation. The ratio of cherry juice in beer is about 30%. The beverage acquires a deep rich color. Already brewed beer is aged for 2-3 months before being served.
More recently, another fruity variety of lambic has been released in Belgium: a sunny colored drink with a peach flavor and delicate aroma - "Lambic Peche". By the way, if you use raspberries instead of cherries, the result is a beautiful Belgian beer "Frambozen".

We decided to kick off Oktoberfest in September—why wait? The menus are ready, the dishes have been finalized, and anyway, the festivities should start earlier. The three Brasserie Lambic restaurants have put together a limited-edition German-inspired menu featuring sausages, pork knuckle, schnitzel, potato salad, smoked meats, and pretzels—all the kinds of dishes that are perfect for placing in the center of the table, sharing with friends, and washing down with a large glass of beer. The menu features pulled pork with cheese sauce and a pretzel, chicken schnitzel with mushroom sauce, an assortment of grilled sausages, and pork knuckle with cabbage and mashed potatoes. There’s also chicken with a mixed salad and adjika. And, of course, pretzels. One with salt, or three at once—if you want twenty, you’ll get twenty. We wouldn’t think twice about it. For Oktoberfest, we’ll be serving draft beers available exclusively during the festival: Liebenbrau, Paulaner, Liebenweiss Hefe-Weissbier, Grotwerg Bayerisch Hell, and Radeberger Pils. By the way, Radeberger is that very German beer often associated with Vladimir Putin—but more on that later. *The menu is available at the following locations: 7 Krasina Street, Building 1 (Mayakovskaya metro station) 26 Prospekt Mira, Building 7 (Prospekt Mira metro station) 19 Shabolovka Street (Oktyabrskaya metro station)
