Please
check our beer display for the latest beers. We introduce new
beers every four weeks.
Without question, the
world’s rarest and most unusual—some say
best—beer is lambic. Singly, in the world of
brewing, no yeast is added to this beer. Rather, a
wild, natural microflora yeast continues to occur in
the Flemish province of Brabant, Belgium. Lambic is
unique in that, the brewing process often takes
several years and the seasoning for the beers very
old fashion—fruits and berries rather than hops.
Fresh cherries, raspberries or peaches are added to
an aged lambic, to contribute seasoning, taste, color
and yeast. What hops are used are aged for three
years and added for their preservative qualities.
Lambics are a complex family of beers which include
dry aperitif beers, full bodied dinner beers and
fruity dessert beers.
Lambics are an esoteric
specialty and have an individuality that is beginning
to attract a new generation of beer lovers. They are
it a word, delicious—really delicious. We are
proud to introduce to our restaurant the fine
selection of Lindeman’s lambic beers. This
brewery produces the most traditional and finest
lambics available.
   
Lindeman’s
Framboise (Raspberry)
Suppose you had to choose 10
bottles—only 10—to last the rest of your life?
Lindeman’s Framboise. It doesn’t look like a
beer, not with its double-thick bottle sealed with a cork
as well as cap. It certainly doesn’t taste like a
beer, not with its champagne like bubbles and intriguing
raspberry flavor. Lindeman’s Framboise is a dessert
beer, enjoyed in lieu of Coffee at the end of the meal.
The first time a beer was awarded the "Best
Wine" award at the Spectacular Wine and Food
Festival in Sacramento, CA
Lindeman’s
Peche (Peach)
Fresh Belgian Peaches are
added to aged lambic (wild yeast) beer. The total brewing
process takes more than two years Fred Eckhardt,
respected beer writer recently described the Peche as the
finest beer being imported into America. Peche is golden
in color with a nose that fills the room with a bouquet
of fresh peaches.
Lindeman’s
Kreik ( Blackcherry)
The rose beer that is a
traditional summer brew in Belgium. The color and fruity
palate comes from fresh Schaarbeek blackcherries that
have been macerated in the beer. The fruit addition
brings a tartness and distinctive flavor, somewhere
between fresh cider and sparkling wine.
Lindeman’s
Gueze
The mysterious "wild
fermented" wheat beer of Belgium. A bland of
"young" lambic of several months age with
lambics up to three years old. It has a cidery, winery
palate, reminiscent, perhaps of dry vermouth.
