Moreover, Kriek is a famous type of Belgian beer fermented with sour Morello cherries. The fruit used in the production process has traditionally been the rare Schaarbeekse Krieken grown in the Brussels area.

Kriek is made from lambic beer, to which sour cherries with pits are added, facilitating the further refermentation of the remaining sugar.
