I want fruit beer!

Belgian type stuff, lambic or whatever it is.

Do I have to go to Borough?

I got some from Sainsburys, but it has sweeteners in and I swear I can taste them. [nauseated]

I think that St Peter's Brewery do a fruit beer - can get them mail order...Waitrose stock a limited selection of their beers - very good.

mmmmmm I love that raspberry beer. Some independent wine shops / off-licences do sell it

fruit beer

Kriek it's called and is lovely! Think Theshers sells it

NotQuiteCockney · 31/01/2008 19:35

Ocado doesn't seem to have it, last time I checked.

I could try Threshers, dunno if there's one near us. Oh, or the local Waitrose I guess - they had a Meantime (puns ) beer from a Greenwich brewery that had raspberry or something in it.

It's on tap at a lot of the local pubs, so I should be able to get it anywhere, surely?

Ok, I looked at the St Peter's one - Grapefruit? That sounds great!

I'll have to try to get a single bottle first, though. And I'd rather they were in smaller bottles than 500ml. (Although at least it's only 4.7, I think a lot of the Belgian ones are a lot higher.)

kriek beer

here is a link you might like:-0

personally only tasted the Bellevue Kriek which is lovely

Isn't Kriek only cherry? I do like cherry too, but I like other fruits as well.

There's a shop at Borough that's got loads of different kinds of fruit beer, but I normally bicycle there, and the idea of riding back with a knapsack full of beer (+ bread + sausages + fruit + everything else) doesn't tempt me much, surprisingly.

Kriek is only cherry thats right but if you have a look on the link you'll see they do loads of fruit beers including banana! Strange combination me thinks!

Tesco has a few fruit beers. I tried the banana beer. Was vile.

Kriek is fantastic.Sends you crazy though.I blame ot for me shagging many unsuitable men when living in France and being caught in flagrante by the warden of my hostel.

I think you might not find the grapefruit beer in a Waitrose, but possibly in a more specialist wine shop - it is delicious though !!
