Schaerbeekse Kriek is bottled in 75cl bottles and is available both in Europe and North America.

In Europe, the labels read "Oude Kriek van Sckaerbeekse Krieken - 35%".  This is not an indication that only 35% of the cherries were Sckaerbeekse cherries.  Rather, this is because the beer has 210g/l of cherries (35% of the 600L barrel are cherries).
