Cantillon Cognac lambic was orignally a test batch of lambic brewed in 2003 and subsequently aged in Cognac barrels for one year.  There were two test batches named F-14 and F-17 that year.  This test would prove to be an initial step in commercially producing a large-run Cognac barrel-aged lambic in 2007 under the name [[Cantillon 50 Degrees North - 4 Degrees East]]. There have been several other batches of Cognac Lambic, outlined below.

A third batch of lambic, presumably brewed in 2010, was put into Cognac barrels and is the main component for the second release of 50 Degrees North - 4 Degrees East.  It has yet to make a known appearance in any other forms. The barrels used for this lambic come from the Grosperrin Cognac négociants.
