Vat 79 was released in April 2016.  It consists of 90% Lambic of cask or foeder #79 brewed on 10/26-27/2011 and bottled on 10/24/2014. Foeder 79 was made in 1883 and since 1986 has been used to hold 3-year old lambic from Boon. It is reportedly one of Frank Boon's favorite casks.  As such, according the brewery, lambic from Foeder 79 is mostly used as a component for the [[Oude_Geuze_Mariage_Parfait|Oude Geuze Mariage Parfait]] bottlings.
