History / Other Notes
The Armand'4 Series was done in an effort to fund a new brewery and help 3 Fonteinen recover after the 2008 thermostat incident. Sales of this beer were a great success, as demand for 3 Fonteinen blended geuze was extremely high during this time. Bottles were sold for 25€ at 3 Fonteinen or 32-40€ through online beer shops.
Lente was never distributed and sold out quickly. The brewery later sold additional bottles as part of a four seasons box set that included an individually numbered and signed wooden box to house the four beers.
