This new facility currently houses barrels and foeders of lambic, the bottling and labeling line, as well as all of the conditioning bottles. In addition to the production facility, the lambik-O-droom houses a full tasting room including current, vintage, and specialty bottles and a retail shop.

In 2018, the brewery decided to leave HORAL, as they disagreed with some of the decisions made and the overall direction of the organisation, feeling some of the lines were getting blurred by some of the members regarding the definition of what was considered as traditional lambic.

From 2020 and after COVID-19, the succession of lock-downs and the craft beer scene taking a hit as a whole, 3 Fonteinen got hit like everyone else and had to rethink their model and future plans. In 2024, they had to lay off 10 of their 19 employees as production declined by 50%, and announced they were cancelling their plans of expansion. As of 2025, they employed 12 people and kept putting their efforts into working and promoting local ingredients.
