Description
Open the door of the 56 rue Gheude.
Cantillon ? That’s the time machine. You’ll leave the modern civilization, goodbye to the noise, goodbye to the world.

"But where are we ?", you will ask yourself.
Well, you are in a family brewery where Lambic, Gueuze, Faro and Kriek are made and where nothing has changed since 1900 when it was founded. The Van Roy-Cantillon family welcomes you and invites you to discover a fabulous world. Beers, tools and brewing process are still the same as in the beginning.

Red copper containers, barrels, some of them more than 100 years old, and walls of bottles constitute the scenery for your visit.

Maybe you’ll be lucky to see the brewing or the bottling, maybe you ’ll see how barrels are cleaned or how fruit beers are made in summer. Maybe you’ll be lucky to see the brewing or the bottling, maybe you ’ll see how barrels are cleaned or how fruit beers are made in summer.
Anyway, you’ll be able to taste a real traditional Gueuze-Lambic and if you would like to know more about the Kriek or the Framboise, just ask the brewer.

Bottle, 75cl, at Cafe Pardaf. 2023 vintage. A delicious brew, peppery, perfumed, woody and lightly funky. It has some body too, without being sweet. It's not too tart either, it's just really balanced. And the pepper works just fine here. Love it. 949417 251108

Hazy orange colour with a tiny white head, which disappears quite fast. Aroma is tart fruits, wood, some brett and mild funky tones. Flavour is quite similar to the aroma. Age has rounded this one rather nicely.

Draft pours yellow with thin head that quickly reduces to lace. Dense mouthfeel, slightly tart fruit flavor with dry finish. Excellent!

Tasted at Monk’s in Philadelphia
