3 Fonteinen Zenne y Frontera is a creation from Armand Debelder, together with sommelier Andy De Brouwer of [http://www.les-eleveurs.be/ Les Eleveurs]. The lambic was aged in 40-year old casks for 12 months prior to bottling. Of the 12 casks, 9 were Oloroso Sherry and 3 were Pedro Ximénez. A portion of lambic from the original batch was left in the cask prior to bottling, and the casks were topped off a second time. According to the brewery, this collaboration seeks to bridge the beer and wine worlds and is also aimed at drawing in the culinary sector.
Approximately 500-600 bottles were available to go at 3 Fonteinen's [[3 Fonteinen Open Beer Days|Open Beer Days]], September 3-7, 2015. The remaining bottles were sold to bars and restaurants for onsite consumption and pairings based on the culinary focus of the beer. The bars and restaurants serving Zenne y Frontera are listed [[3 Fonteinen Zenne y Frontera#Distribution|below]].
In December 2016, in a collaboration with the Belgian specialty store Tasttoe Two, 3 Fonteinen released 150 gift packs (75 available at the brewery and 75 available at Tasttoe Two) called "The Perfect Date" which contained one bottle of Zenne y Frontera, one bottle of Bodegas Tradicion Oloroso (30 year Sherry), and one bottle of Bodegas Tradicion Pedro Ximinez (20 year Sherry). The price was 195 euro.
According to the brewery, a second batch of Zenne y Frontera is likely forthcoming in mid-2017, having been bottled in early 2016.
