Line 39:

This new facility currently houses barrels and foeders of lambic, the bottling and labeling line, as well as all of the conditioning bottles. In addition to the production facility, the lambik-O-droom houses a full tasting room including current, vintage, and specialty bottles and a retail shop.

~~==Production Notes==~~

~~Drie Fonteinen follows traditional [[Brewing Lambic|lambic brewing]] processes, with the following notable facts:~~

* Until late 1997, 3 Fonteinen bottles were sealed with a cork and cap.

* Until 2011, some 3 Fonteinen beers were bottled at Boon. Boon's bottling line at the time was faster so larger, overflow packaging jobs were sometimes completed there. Boon corks say "SB" rather than the normal "3 Fonteinen" cork.

* As of 2016, 3 Fonteinen uses two colors of bottles: ~~Green (for blends containing lambic that originated as wort brewed at other breweries), and brown (for blends containing lambic that was brewed only by 3 Fonteinen).~~

* As of 2019, 3 Fonteinen no longer receives wort from Boon after having departed HORAL.

''In Memoriam''

* In 2019, 3 Fonteinen received wort from [[Brouwerij_De_Troch|De Troch.]]
