About
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 at Zwanze. Aroma is very brett forward, smelling really Band-Aid-y, some cherry cough syrup. Pours ruby red with pink foam. Taste is lightly sour (5/10) with brett forward flavors, overtaking the mild grape flavor.

During Zwanze 2026 with almost the whole gang gathered around 😁
Aroma: a lot of fruit, very nice and prominent sweet apricot notes. Some funk.
Taste: along the same lines, fruity, nice carbonation, creamy, a bit dry.
Overall: pleasant, but requires more funk for sure.

It’s a great beer. Rich dark and leathery berry with an herbal edge. Mellow acidity. Some earthy qualities. Seedy bitterness. Grape skins. Bit of wood. The depth is considerable. The finish is excellent. The beer is outstanding.

Still surprisingly lot of vanilla left, complex and funky with some tartness, loads of sourness and jammy raspberries. Great

Draft pour at Zwanze Day 2026, at The Sovereign in Washington DC. Poured a clear, dark ruby red cherry color with a medium sized light pink head. Aroma is a wormwood, vermouth, taste of cherries. Light red grape, but with a big cherry flavor. Very nice stuff. Big and bold, not very subtle, but quite, quite good. I really, really liked this one quite a bit.

Good and refreshing. Herbal but not quite in a rough and grassy way. More refined. Light acidity. Some green pepper vibes. Soft lemony tang. Pretty dry at the end. A little peel. It really is quite drinkable.

Aroma: full of sweet cherries, smells like a kompot.
Taste: along the same lines, cherry pits, some funk, low to moderately acidic and dry
Overall: it's pleasant, but would be cool to have more of lambic funk here.
