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.

Bouteille 75cl à Belgian Summer Beer Gathering, merci Bart. Bottled 12/08/2021.
Dorée, léger voile, col assez épais et blanc – ce qui n’est pas mal pour ce genre de bière avec déjà qcq années en cave.
Arôme reste assez classique de Cantillon – vieux cellier, funk avec un bouquet abricot présent mais qui s’atténue déjà avec le temps.
Palais reste sur une belle base ‘funk’ auquel vient s’ajouter un côté finement aigre de la macération des abricots – la douceur originale d’un brassin frais s’estompe et laisse tout de même place à une teneur en bouche qui présente pas mal de notes aigres.
