Description
Timmermans brewery launched an Oude Schaarbeekse Kriek, called Griotteke. The oldest lambic brewery in the world, which is celebrating its 320th anniversary in 2022, is thus reviving the tradition of using Schaerbeek cherries. These rather rare, sour cherries are harvested by hand. The matte black bottle features a label signed by the young artist from Schaerbeek, Lauranne van Naemen. 1 euro per bottle sold goes to a non-profit organization based in Schaerbeek that works on the sustainable management of ecosystems. By planting kriek and other fruit trees on playgrounds and at schools and residential care centres, this organisation wants to make Brussels and the surrounding area more green.
