Cantillon Fou' Foune

It was 1998. There was a friendly atmosphere, the food was excellent, it was a perfect occasion to improve the world and let our imagination run away. Improving the world has remained an illusion, but one of Cantillon's fantasies has become reality.
François Daronnat, an apricot grower nicknamed "Foufoune" was one of the participants. He kept on singing the praises of his "Bergeron" apricots: they were the most natural, the most beautiful, the most delicious, sweet and acid at the same time.
The limited production of apricots lambic was destined for a small part of the French market.
Due to the success of our provençal beer, 1200 kgs of apricots are delivered now every year to the Cantillon brewery. The fruits are stoned by hand before being soaked in 2 years old lambic. The beer extracts the taste and the aromas very quickly and the Fou' Foune is bottled after two months. The beer is rather sour, slightly turbid and has a pale gold color. Its production is limited to 3000 liters a year. A large part of the bottles go back to the region where these apricots come from. People there consider the Fou' Foune Cantillon as a local beer.
