Glühkriek
sounds a little funny in English, but it tastes
sublime. "Glühwein" is the
German word for mulled wine, literally "glow
wine" for the way hot, spiced wine makes you
feel. "Kriek" is Flemish for cherry, and a
famous Belgian style of cherry beer. So Glühkriek
is a spiced sweet-tart cherry beer designed to be
served warmed in winter, like a latter-day wassail. This
rare Belgian beer is undeniably quirky; in fact,
few would recognize this explosively aromatic cherry
bomb as beer on first sip. But it is undeniably
delicious and tailor-made for banishing the chill
of a solstice night. If there's a beer
connoisseur on your holiday gift list, or a wine
drinker who needs a taste of what beer can do, a
tissue-wrapped bottle of Liefman's Glühkriek
is sure to surprise and delight.
