Liefmans is a unique beer blend maturing for over 18 months on cherries in the Liefmans cellars. It is artfully blended with natural juices of strawberry, raspberry, cherry, blueberry & juniper berry. The result is a fruity pleasant sweet sparkling, refreshing beer with a soft foam head.

Liefmans Fruit Beer History

Since 1679, Liefmans is one of the cult breweries of the great Belgian beer country. Liefmans distinctive flavours derive from the process of mixed fermentation, in open vessels, a blending of young and old beers and bottle aging in the cellars at Oudenaarde.

Liefmans is blended beer. The origin of the blending was to preserve the beer, brewed in the winter, for the hot summer (before decent refrigeration was invented). Liefmans is brewed from pale, dark and roasted malts. After fermentation for one week, the beer matures for two years. Very old beers are blended with fresher, sweeter beer to enliven the flavour. This masterpiece of blending is Goudenband.

Liefmans was the first brewery to hand wrap each bottle in tissue-paper, and that tradition continues to this day.
