=Zwanze Day 2009=
Much like Zwanze 2008, Zwanze 2009 did not have an official release date and was quietly distributed to bars, restaurants, and festivals around the world. [[Cantillon_Zwanze_2009|Zwanze 2009]] is a lambic with elder flowers added. In 2010 it would become [[Mamouche]], a regular addition to Cantillon's lineup.

=Zwanze Day 2010=
<Date><Brief As in the previous two years, Zwanze 2010 did not have an official release date and was distributed to bars, restaurants, and festivals around the world. Later, it was available for sale through some online Belgian beer description>shops. [[Cantillon_Zwanze_2010|Zwanze 2010]] is the first non-traditional/non-lambic beers of the series. It is a spontaneously fermented witbier.<Other notes>

=Zwanze Day 2011=
<Date>Zwanze 2011 marked the first major change in the Zwanze Day tradition. Starting with [[Cantillon_Zwanze_2011|Zwanze 2011]], a lambic with Pineau D'aunis grapes added, a simultaneous worldwide release party and tapping would happen on Saturday September 17, 2011. As a reaction to the commoditization of previous Zwanze beers, the brewery decided to not sell any bottles of Zwanze 2011 and instead release it at a worldwide party.<Brief The press release for Zwanze 2011 stated: ''"In keeping with our approach to brewing and selling beer, as well as out of respect for the product and the attitude implied with the name Zwanze, we don't want these vintages to become marketing tools designed exclusively to make a few bucks. A case in point: Zwanze 2010 was bottled with numbered stickers, and after one bottle had been sold at the brewery for 6 euros another one ended up on eBay less than a week later with a price tag of 80 euros. Because of my dedication to my work as a brewer and out of respect for the product itself, it is very important to me for prices to stay reasonable. Unfortunately, there are those out there who couldn't care less about spontaneous fermentation beer but who do care a lot about making easy money. For this reason, it has been decided that not a single bottle of Zwanze 2011 will be sold by Cantillon Brewery"'' Zwanze 2011 was also the first beer description>of the series to have the majority of the product placed into kegs for on-site consumption. Approximately 2/3 of the Zwanze production for 2011 was put into barrels, whereas previous years had nearly 80% of the production go into bottles.<Other notes>

=Zwanze Day 2012=
<Date>Zwanze Day 2012 took the same basic form as Zwanze Day 2011 with a worldwide tapping and toast to the beer on December 1, 2012 . [[Cantillon_Zwanze_2012|Zwanze 2012]] was a re-brew of Zwanze 2008, a lambic with Rhubarb added. It was available mostly on draught with a limited number of bottles being made available at the brewery for on premises. consumption. The beer that was served for Zwanze Day 2012 was not what had originally been intended for the day. The press release noted: ''"When in early April we brewed a top-fermentation beer which was to become Zwanze 2012, we hoped that it would be ready 3 or 4 months later so that we could organise another Zwanze Day sometime in September.<Brief However, since we are working in the very specific environment of traditional Lambic brewery where natural yeast flora reign supreme, even a top-fermented beer description>can take control of its own destiny. As such, on the occasion of a final tasting session at the end of June it became crystal-clear that the Zwanze 2012 would not be ready in time and that it would, we hope, become Zwanze 2013."''<Other notes>
