Food & Beer Friday :: For the non-beer drinker.








A couple Fridays ago, I got a great comment from Ari, and she mentioned she wasn't a beer drinker.  This sparked an idea!  I have plenty of girl friends who aren't into beer, but this one is usually a winner!  Lindemans PĂȘche Lambic isn't the type of beer that I usually talk about on Fridays.  Lambic beers are native to Belgium, and they differ from other types based on the fermentation process.  I won't get all technical on you, but you can learn more about the lambic style from here.  Lambics are usually either really sweet or really sour.  One of D's favorite breweries is possibly the most famous lambic breweries in Belgium.  We even got to visit this brewery on our European adventure!

Back to Lindemans PĂȘche Lambic!  Lindemans is in Belgium and was started on a farm outside of Brussels, Belgium.  This beer is certainly going to be on the sweet side of lambics.  I thought it tasted like carbonated peach juice.  No hops, no bitterness, only sweetness.  I can't remember the last time I drank a hard cider, but I would imagine it's a similar concept.  I immediately thought that this beer would be perfect mixed with fresh juice for brunch mimosas (which is similar to what we had at the recent beer brunch we went to)!

Not a beer drinker?  Search out lambics in your local bottle shop!  If you're not a peach lover, there's also apple, strawberry, cherry, and black current flavors.
