For this Schaarbeekse Kriek, we macerated locally grown and manually harvested sour cherries for almost fourteen months in wooden barrels, with both one-year and two-year old lambik. The final fruit intensity is about 350 grams of Schaarbeekse per litre of finished Schaarbeekse Kriek. The average age of this beer upon release will be around two-and-a-half years. 100% 3 Fonteinen.
3 Fonteinen Schaarbeekse Kriek is the result of macerating local hand-picked Schaarbeekse cherries on traditional lambik. No addition of juices, syrups or artificial sweeteners. Unfiltered. Unpasteurised.
Brouwerij 3 Fonteinen is a traditional lambic brewery and geuze blender that has been going for three generations. The family business was nearly ruined when a faulty air conditioner caused their whole cellar of beers to explode
