Kriek

Lambic refermented on sour Morello cherries, traditionally the Schaarbeek variety grown around Brussels, and left on the fruit for months. Commercial versions increasingly use juice rather than whole cherries, add sugar, and give it far less time.

These are facts about this record, not about the world. They are counted from the beers on file, and the atlas is as deep as its sources, which cover modern craft brewing far more closely than anything else. A country at the top of this list is where the most examples have been recorded, which is not the same as where the most are brewed.
