==Red and Blue Label==
[[File:Label-Cantillon-GueuzeMisc-10.jpg|40cl/80cl BC Logo Label|thumb|right]]
This label was used as a beer coaster as well as on glassware. The label says "''Categorie Superieure''", but according to Jean-Pierre Van Roy it does not denote anything different about the beer because "labelling laws back then and brewers could put just about whatever they wanted on their labels." Regarding the 40cl / 80cl sizes, the brewery at the time was using hand-blown glass and "the volume authorized by the Ministry of Finance was 40cl for small bottles and 80cl for the large ones. In actual fact, the amount of beer rarely exceeded 75cl because of the bottles' substantially recessed bottom."<Ref name = JPVRDec14Letter> Jean-Pierre Van Roy, Brussels Museum of Gueuze Newsletter - December, 2014 </ref>

This label was used as a label for the grocery store group Louis Delhaize. As a client of the brewery, they labeled and sold the gueuze under the store brand LD label.  The bottle contents note "''environ''" or about 40cl/80cl.<Ref name = JPVRDec14Letter> Jean-Pierre Van Roy, Brussels Museum of Gueuze Newsletter - December, 2014 </ref> Some versions of this label do not bear the Cantillon name at all; however, the label pictured to the right prominently displays the brewery's name.
==Priba Stores Label==
[[File:Label-Cantillon-GueuzeMisc-11.jpg|75cl Green Haute Densité|thumb|right]]
The green label was used for Priba Stores and their affiliate Unic. This label states that the beer is "''Haute Densité''" or high gravity, but the actual ABV is not indicated on the label. According to Jean-Pierre Van Roy, the standard Cantillon Gueuze has always been 5% ABV, and that this beer was no different.<Ref name = JPVRDec14Letter> Jean-Pierre Van Roy, Brussels Museum of Gueuze Newsletter - December, 2014 </ref>
