Lou Pepe Kriek is part of Cantillon's Lou Pepe series which is bottled on a regular basis. The series also contains the [[Cantillon_Lou_Pepe_-_Framboise|Lou Pepe Framboise]] and [[Cantillon_Lou_Pepe_Gueuze|Lou Pepe Gueuze]]. Lou Pepe Kriek is made from two year old lambic that has been aged exclusively in used Bordeaux barrels. To carbonate the beer, a small amount of sweet liquor is added after bottling causing the refermentation in the bottle. | |||
According to Cantillon's official website, "The particular name of these beers comes from the south-west of France, a region the Cantillon family is very fond of. In this beautiful region, the grandfather is called Lou Pepe." | |||
