→La Vie est Belge 2016
Based on the success of finishing lambic in Vin Jaune barrels, Cantillon reproduced the results in 2016, calling the beer La Vie est Belge. This beer was debuted for onsite consumption at [[Cantillon_Quintessence|Cantillon Quintessence]] in May of 2016, served and raffled at the 2016 [http://www.brewsfornewavenues.org/ Brews for New Avenues] event, and sold for charity at Monk's Cafe in Philadelphia during the 2016 [[Cantillon_Zwanze_Day|Zwanze Day]] festivities. Bottled February 15, 2016, this batch featured lambic that had previously been aged in oak barrels and then finished in Vin Jaune barrels.
A second batch 2016 bottling of La Vie est Belge was bottled occurred on December 27, 2016 (Jean's birthday). This batch combined two barrels of 3 year old lambic finished in Vin Jaune barrels for 9 months with one barrel of lambic wort added directly to Vin Jaune barrels and aged for 2 years. This bottling was also sold in limited quantities online by the brewery as ''La Vie est Solidaire'' for the Vendanges Solidaires fundraiser.
