Would that be Trappist beer, or weissbier?
I´m intrigued because I´m trying to put together a Food Course called " Cooking with Beer", and that dish looks great.

Trappist is just one of the many types of Belgian beer. Weissbier is German by origin.

I used a kriekbier ( cherry beer) which is beer ripened on cherry wood wine barrels. In this case the beer used is Bacchus , a semi sweet dark kriekbier. On the website it seems like their kriekbier is quite red, but their dark beer is also ripened on the same barrels and with that technically a kriek too. I used the dark variety.

Wonderful! I made a Belgian beef stew like that a long time ago, and I think you just prompted me to make it again, before it gets too hot out.

Great!
I´ve tried a kriekbier and thought it was ´orrible, but then I don´t like my beer to taste of anything other than beer. Cherries, coffee, citrus peel - yuk. I´d never thought of using it to cook, however. I´ll have to give it a try.

I must say, I am the same about drinking the stuff, and I too have never tried to cook with it. Might be a game changer.

It's a ripened in a cherry wood wine barrel, not with cherries. It tastes like a mix between wine and beer.
 
I rather like kriekbier. It depends on who makes it, as with all beers. It is a beer I would drink in the Autumn or winter.
