Brouwerij 3 Fonteinen “Speling van het Lot” (Twist of Fate) is a series of small batch experimental brews, barrel maturations, fruit macerations and/or blends.

This 7th version features a range of fruit macerations on freshly emptied Bordeaux barrels from Château Pabus. These high-quality French oak barrels were used for a unique integrated vinification technique, including grape peel maceration in the barrel itself. The name (“Zotte Kadeeën” - “Crazy Kids”) refers to the abundant creativity of our youthful, passionate team, that likes to explore within the traditional lambik boundaries.
