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.

Draft pour at Zwanze Day 2026, at The Sovereign in Washington DC. Poured a hazy golden yellow color with a medium sized white head. Aroma was white grapes, vermouth. It's okay. Vermouth with some woodsy herbalness funk. This is decent but it misses the mark just a little bit.

Armsby draught, 4/25/26. Vintage not listed, but assuming this is a 2025 keg that shipped for Zwanze.
Nice and musty, funky, well-barnyarded nose with well-macerated grape leaving it elegant and well-integrated with the lambic.
The lambic itself is surprisingly light, soft, very Brett-forward with gentle, but ebullient funk. Lighter body, not thin, with elegant grape adding both skin and moderate acid character. Some juiciness, chalk and earth as it warms, never fading on the funk.

Tap op Zwanze 2026. Ik neem aan de '25 versie. Troebelig geelgouden body, fijn wit schuim. IJskoud. Geur is zuur, brettig. Retronasaal zurig, houtig, licht zoetig, vleugje (gelukkig) brett. Smaak is zurig en iets zoetig. Lichte body. Iets droge houtige afdronk.
