Francis De Hondt requested that Cantillon create a special cuvée to honor King Badouin (also Duke of Brabant) to celebrate the Koningsfeesten. This particular anniversary was special as it represented a triple anniversary for the King (30 years of marriage, 40 years of reign, and the King’s 60th birthday). Brabantiae, which was already in barrels, was named and provided for this celebration.<ref name=Brabanconne>Christian Laport, [http://archives.lesoir.be/gueuze-d-origine-controlee-une-brabanconne-qui-ravit-le_t-19910518-Z03Z9Y.html Gueuze d’Origine Contrôlée.

In March of 2016, Cantillon announced the arrival of freshly emptied Port barrels at the brewery. A total of fifty barrels of 500 liters each will be filled for a future release of the second batch of Brabantiae.
