About the brewer
The story of Force Majeure begins in 2019 with triathlete Stijn Panis’ passion. As an athlete, he combined his deep love for fine Belgian craft beer with his passion for entrepreneurship. However, he felt there was one thing missing on the shelves: a high-quality craft beer without the alcohol, one that fits perfectly into a healthy and active lifestyle.
Force Majeure is now the only brewery in Belgium that focuses entirely and exclusively on brewing non-alcoholic beers. No compromises on taste, but the ultimate freedom to raise a glass whenever you want. With a deep respect for traditional Belgian beer culture, Stijn brings true classics—such as Blond, Dubbel, Tripel, and this fruity Kriek—into the modern world of 0.0.

A perfect balance between sweet and tart
What makes Force Majeure Kriek so special is its refined flavor profile. While many non-alcoholic fruit beers tend to be too sweet or lemonade-like, this Kriek stays true to its Belgian roots. From the very first sip, you’ll taste a deliciously fresh, sweet, and fruity burst of juicy cherries.
The flavors then gently evolve into a refreshing, pleasantly tart finish. Thanks to its base of barley and wheat malt, the beer retains the body and texture you’d expect from a craft-brewed beer. It’s the ultimate thirst-quencher, and it’s no surprise that it scores an impressive 3.14 on Untappd.

What do you eat with this Kriek?
Thanks to its fruity character and crisp, tangy complexity, Force Majeure Kriek is surprisingly versatile. Its fruity acidity cuts beautifully through rich dishes and elevates desserts to a whole new level. Try it with:
-
Fresh salads: a salad with goat cheese, walnuts, and a raspberry or cherry vinaigrette pairs perfectly with the beer’s fruity notes.
-
Duck or game: the classic pairing of duck breast with cherry sauce is a perfect match for Force Majeur Kriek.
-
Creamy desserts: think of a velvety-smooth panna cotta or a classic New York cheesecake. The tartness of the Kriek cuts through the creamy flavor beautifully.
-
Dark chocolate: Try pairing this beer with a piece of dark chocolate (70%+). The bitter notes of the cocoa blend beautifully with the sweet cherry juice.
