Changes

Zwanze Day 2012 took the same basic form as Zwanze Day 2011 with a worldwide tapping and toast to the beer on December 1, 2012 . [[Cantillon_Zwanze_2012|Zwanze 2012]] was a re-brew of Zwanze 2008, a lambic with Rhubarb added. It was available mostly on draught with a limited number of bottles being made available at the brewery for on premises. consumption. The beer that was served for Zwanze Day 2012 was not what had originally been intended for the day. The press release noted: ''"When in early April we brewed a top-fermentation beer which was to become Zwanze 2012, we hoped that it would be ready 3 or 4 months later so that we could organise another Zwanze Day sometime in September.However, since we are working in the very specific environment of traditional Lambic brewery where natural yeast flora reign supreme, even a top-fermented beer can take control of its own destiny. As such, on the occasion of a final tasting session at the end of June it became crystal-clear that the Zwanze 2012 would not be ready in time and that it would, we hope, become Zwanze 2013."''
