==History / Other Notes==
Hanssens Oudbeitje is currently the only commercially available, non-back sweetened strawberry lambic on the market. It was first blended in 2000 with a blend of [[Brouwerij_Boon|Boon]] and [[Brouwerij_Girardin|Girardin]] lambic. In May of 2000, 150 kg of Belgian strawberries were added to every 600 liter barrel of two year old lambic. Oudbeitje was first bottled in March 2001 and continues to be a regular presence in the Hanssens lineup.<ref name = "HanssensOudbeitje"> Hanssens Oudbeitje, B.

==Unsubstantiated Stories==
The "Master's Collection Limited Edition 2000" label is reportedly the first commercial bottling of Oudbeitje, and the label may have been used for several vintages after that. Picture below is a "Master's Collection Limited Edition 2006" label as well. Since the beer was initially made for the American market, no other number dating system was used on the labels; only lot numbers. Though it is only available commercially in 37,5cl bottles, B. United International has undated black and white 75cl labels as well. To add to the discrepancy, the bottle pictured below with the black and white label is a 37,5cl bottle. Further research is needed.
