The series also contains the [[Cantillon_Lou_Pepe_-_Framboise|Lou Pepe Framboise]] and [[Cantillon_Lou_Pepe_Gueuze|Lou Pepe Gueuze]]. Lou Pepe Kriek is made from two year old lambic that has been aged exclusively in used Bordeaux barrels. Whereas Cantillon's [[Cantillon_Kriek_100%25_Lambic|Kriek 100% Lambic]] and [[Cantillon_Rosé_De_Gambrinus|Rosé de Gambrinus]] lambics contain 200g of fruit per liter, the Lou Pepe fruited beers contain about 300g of fruit per liter.<ref name=“CantillonLouPepe”>http://www.cantillon.be/br/3_109 Cantillon - Lou Pepe</ref> To carbonate the beer, a small amount of sweet liquor is added after bottling causing the refermentation in the bottle.
According to Cantillon's official website, "The the particular name of these beers comes from the south-west of France, a region the Cantillon family is very fond of. In this beautiful region, the grandfather is called Lou Pepe." <ref name=“CantillonLouPepe”>http://www.cantillon.be/br/3_109 Cantillon - Lou Pepe</ref>
