What is Kriek 0.0?
Lindemans is a family brewery in Vlezenbeek, in Belgium’s Pajottenland, founded in 1822 and best known for its lambics and fruit beers; cousins Dirk and Geert Lindemans, the sixth generation, run it. Its two alcohol-free beers, both launched in 2025, are Kriek 0.0, with sour cherries, and Pecheresse 0.0, with peaches.
Kriek 0.0 isn’t a lambic. Lindemans says it uses micro-organisms from the Pajottenland to make a base “very similar to lambic, but completely alcohol-free”, brewed at its satellite brewery in Ruisbroek, with “exactly the same amount of freshly pressed cherries” as its classic Kriek. It describes a “sparkling ruby-red” beer with a pink head, aromas of cherries and almond, and the taste of freshly picked sour cherries. The shops list 25% cherry juice, sugar and stevia.
The World Beer Awards 2026 winners list names it the best no and low alcohol sour and wild beer in its style. The Alcohol Free Co gives 41 kcal per 100ml, about 103 a bottle. We haven’t scored it yet.
