Jean-Pierre brewed three batches of lambic (November 1987, February 1989, and January 1990). He first aged this lambic in 650 L wine barrels (“pijpen” or “pipes”) from Spain. Next, the batches were finished in Old Tawny Superior Port barrels from Portugal.

Francis De Hondt requested that Cantillon create a special cuvée to honor King Baudouin (also Duke of Brabant) to celebrate the Koningsfeesten. This particular anniversary was special as it represented a triple anniversary for the King (30 years of marriage, 40 years of reign, and the King’s 60th birthday). Brabantiae, which was already in barrels, was named and provided for this celebration.
