Kriek lambic is a style of
Belgian beer, made by fermenting
lambic with
sour Morello cherries. Traditionally "
Schaarbeekse krieken" (a rare Belgian
Morello variety) from the area around
Brussels are used. As the Schaarbeek type cherries have become more difficult to find, some brewers have replaced these (partly or completely) with other varieties of sour cherries, sometimes imported.
