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".
When you visit our Belgian brasserie Lambic, be sure to order a Belgian cherry beer "Kriek".
For the new seasonal menu Dmitry Lazko, brand-chef of Miratorg, and Evgeny Goncharov, concept-chef of Brasserie Lambic, combined their knowledge and experience in working with meat and created 8 dishes from beef cooked in a smoker. A smoker is a specialty wood-fired smokehouse oven for low temperature cooking. The soft smoke allows for juiciness and flavor retention during long smoking. We used three cuts of beef cooked for many hours in the smoker — brisket, ribs and roast beef from picanha — as the basis of our dishes: — Smoked picanha roast beef with chanterelles, capers, rucola and parmesan — Layered roti flatbread with smoked roast beef, feta cheese cream, onion fries and hoisin sauce — Okroshka with brisket on kvass/kefir — Fettuccini with brisket, chanterelles and parmesan in sweet pepper sauce — Sandwich on ciabatta with smoked roast beef, pickled cabbage, caramelized onions and pickles — Beef rib with roasted peppers, spinach and pickles — Brisket burger in a brioche bun with egg, caramelized onions and parmesan cheese — Beef brisket with pickles in a soy-sesame marinade, jalapenos and tripple black sauce. To meat dishes of the new menu we recommend our author’s Tripple Black sauce with coffee, dates and dark beer! Buy a souvenir bottle of sauce for your home or as a gift for your loved ones! Taste new dishes on Lambic verandahs in the company of bright seasonal cocktail spritzes!
