The fruits are cut in half, the pits removed from about half of the fruit, and the fruit is placed into a stainless steel tank with lambic for a maceration period. It is then transferred to a stainless steel bottling tank until it is ready to be bottled. Though the brewery states that Fou' Foune is only available in 750 mL bottles, it was also available in 375 mL bottles on at least two occasions: once in Japan (2010) and once in Belgium (2009). It has also been available in 20 L kegs at various festivals, including many [[Cantillon_Zwanze_Day|Zwanze Day]] locations, and on tap at bars. | The fruits are cut in half, the pits removed from about half of the fruit, and the fruit is placed into a stainless steel tank with lambic for a maceration period.
