No cherry. But maybe yours has a better selection. My Trader Joe’s only carries the peach and raspberry lambics. No cherry. But maybe yours has a better selection.

I'm partial to the peach lambic in the summer time. Just screams for a picnic in the park. Kriek Lambics can be found by the bottle at Trader Joe’s as well.

Summer in Brussels was a few days in August when the sun shone and the temperature skyrocketed above 80 degrees Fahrenheit (heat-stroke weather, there). My favorite was strawberry-flavor. These really hit the spot on a hot day. I think the notion of putting a lime into a bottle of light-colored Mexican beer (e.g., Corona) or making a chelada with a lime in and salt on the rim has the same purpose: to cool one off on a hot day.

I haven't seen it at my BevMo, but will look for it. It has to be cheaper there than at Whole Foods. Jesse and Lynae – Thanks so much for the tips on where to get kriek.

You can buy it at lots of other places in the Bay Area. Many liquor stores (particularly those with a focus on fine liquor and wine) carry it, as does Beverages and More. Lindeman's is the only one I've tried--thanks for the tip about the Trappist! I’m a huge lambic and kriek fan. You can buy it at lots of other places in the Bay Area.
