Robed in bright vermillion and with an aroma reminiscent of fresh cherry pie, our Kriek is a Pacific Northwest ode to Belgian Lambic brewers who craft these tart, fruity and complex beers, one of our favorite Belgian styles.

Beginning with our aged, Lambic-inspired, blonde base, we added a mountain of of whole, organic, Oregon-grown, Chelan cherries to the final blend. In addition to the wonderful cherry flavor and lovely color, the fruit adds a yeast complexity by adding more microbes to the beer and kicking up another fermentation. We finished the blend with just a hint of local wildflower honey to balance the acidity and add one more level of nuance.
