Why does 'BEER' or 'What's Brewing' often lose control of its senses on 
overseas beer.

Latest BEER has an initially OK article on chef Phil Vickery and his pub, 
but then goes on to refer to Framboise as Kriek, which I understand as being 
nonsense.

Then the recommended Framboise is BelleVue, the Inbev Alcopop.

I look forward to hearing about what food goes with a pint of Fosters or a 
bottle of WKD next month.

If you check the website for the pub there is not a single reference to beer 
that I can see, but the wine list goes on and on.

Indeed, Kriek is by definition a beer containing cherries. Preferably 
Schaerbeek ones.

Why bother, some other pedant will do it for him.

And you have to see Belle Vue in context - it's certainly pretty awful 
compared with fruit beer or even Mort Subite, but still better than 
vodka and Red Bull (they're both alcoholic Vimto, but Belle Vue's more 
sour, which makes the sweetness less horrible).
