In 2019, they were approached by sommelier Andy De Brouwer to createe a special cider and lambic blend called Wild Adam. They provided the cider from Jonagold apples and 3 Fonteinen provided the lambic as De Cort didn't produce their own at the time, though they were producing beer already to distill.

In 2020 they installed a new large copper still (Holstein boiler, up to 5000 L) to upgrade their distillery equipment, and in 2021 they started committing to brewing lambic on their "alembic" still to launch their own range and built a coolship. After thoughts, adjustments and many tests, they started regularly brewing lambic in 2022.

After thoughts, adjustments and many tests, they started regularly brewing lambic in 2022. Anthony Lebbe, Manu De Cort's son in law, is in charge of that side of the business.

First beers started being launched from 2022 to 2024, and in 2025 they released a first distillied-lambic spirit called W.I.L.D. from 3-year-old lambic aged in PX-sherry casks.

Tours and tastings can be required by appointment, and purchases can be made on-sire almost every day, though it is advised to call ahead to make sure they are opened. Custom events are also possible at request, for up to 60 people at the café and 120 people in their large hall.
