Timmermans Oude Kriek 75 cl

ABV: 6.7%

The oldest fermentation in the world! This little wonder will win you over with the subtlety of its flavor. A wild and fresh aroma combines with a completely liberated taste from the very first sip, leaving a flavor of authenticity on the palate while maintaining all the mystery of Brussels gueuzes. In the Oud Kriek version, fermentation with the beers gives it a fruitier and smoother touch. Among the various awards won, the 2017 Brussels Beer Challenge stands out, where it won the Gold medal.

About the beer

The marriage of the most genuine lambic with cherries – originally the Schaerbeek cherry – always produces surprising results, especially when blending lambics of different maturations. This pairing, in which a natural bitterness predominates, will delight true connoisseurs of spontaneous fermentation and surprise newcomers to fruit beers in their most noble and prestigious form. The indicated shelf life is 12 years, but if you have older bottles… enjoy them well!

Timmermans beers are produced in Itterbeek, in the oldest operating lambic brewery, respecting a tradition of over 300 years. At their origin lies a miracle: the microorganisms found in the air of the Zenne valley come into contact with the beer wort, which then ferments spontaneously. This is why a true lambic is produced only within a 15 km radius of Brussels, in the area known as Pajottenland.

Over the last century, three generations of "The Finest Drinks Company" have provided all enthusiasts with a wonderful journey through the world of beers. Today, every second of the day or night, two of their beers are being enjoyed somewhere in the world. The secret to this success lies in the "blend" between English tradition and Belgian know-how. John Martin, born in 1886 in Newmarket, UK, moved to Antwerp in 1909 and started by importing English beers, becoming the official importer of Guinness by 1912. But it was only in 1950 that John Martin developed a beer, the Bulldog Pale Ale, later known as Martin’s Pale Ale. In 1992, the "Finest Beer Selection" by Anthony was launched, and a year later the Timmermans brewery joined the group. Nowadays, this brewing group owns the formula for Guinness Special Export, a version produced in Ireland exclusively for Anthony Martin.
