History
<Placeholder for earlier history>
The Debelder family ran both the restaurant and blendery, with Armand blending and Guido managing the restaurant. However on December 1st, 1998, Restaurant Debelder BV (the company represented by Guido, Armand and Gaston Debelder) signed the paperwork necessary to the rental of the brewing equipment through BCB, company represented by Willem Van Herreweghen (founder of De Cam) so Armand could start brewing.
On February 1st, 2001, Armand left the restaurant and in late March 2001 he created "A.D. Bieren", which then went on to continue as "3 Fonteinen". From that point on, the restaurant was owned and managed solely by Guido, though the entire family kept working together until 2015 as they all almost lived under the same roof up to that point.
3 Fonteinen Restaurant-Café Beers
3 Fonteinen consistently serves a breadth of current and vintage 3 Fonteinen lambics. Most notably, however, is the kriekenlambik. Slightly sweetened, the 3 Fonteinen kriekenlambik is generally only available fresh at the restaurant though it does make occasional appearances at festivals.
