* Late in the season, the 1 year old lambic is closer to 18-20 months old and no longer has enough residual sugar for natural secondary fermentation in the bottle. In those cases, Cantillon will add 2 to 3 grams of liquid saccharose per liter. <ref name=JVRPodcast>[[Brasserie_Cantillon#Podcast|Basic Brewing Radio Podcast, May 30, 2013]]</ref>
* Cantillon historically sourced hops from large local hop farms in cities such as Asse and AfflegemAffligem, Belgium. Over time, these farms have shrunk. In the 1970's, Cantillon was sourcing hops from the Yakima Valley in Washington. Currently, most hops come from Germany, however in 2012 and 2013, the hops did not age well and Cantillon is looking to move back to US hops.<ref name=LambicInfoConvo>Lambic.Info Interview with Jean Van Roy and Jean Pierre Van Roy, May 2015</ref>
* In the 1980s and 1990s, Cantillon often used colored foils to designate the style of beer. Gold or yellow foil indicated gueuze. Red foil was used for kriek. Purple or silver foil was used for framboise.
