Fruit from Haspengouw is a household name. Worldwide, the name of the largest fruit region of Western Europe, Haspengouw, is well known for quality and innovation. 
In the past there were also many fruit beers produced in this region, today just a few which makes that the wonderfull fruitbeers of Brouwerij Cornelissen are unique. The full flavoured cherryjuice went directly from the field into the brewing kettle, similarly for this traditional cherry beer that is brewed by Brouwerij Cornelissen since 1977. 
 Their craftsmanship in 1997 was awarded a silver medal quality. A unique combination of fresh cherry juice with our refined Limburgse Witte beer (wheat). One amazing sweet, refined and fruity cherry beer. Turn with the bottle when halfway and pour the loose yeast in your glass, that's the perfect Kriekenbier wheat, nice hazy real Kriekenbier wheat.
