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.

Also very funky but here the Kriek shines through. Herbal, botanical. Exciting to celebrate Zwanze Day here! My two favorite beer worlds unite.

Monk's: pours light bright red with a small white head. Aroma is vermouth, cherries, very funky. Complex and pretty weird. Vermouth and herbals flavors all over overlaying the fruitiness. Very nice.

Vinous, intense with grapes, hints of cherries, jammy berries and hints of funky earthiness, mild tartness and sourness. Easy going but elegant
