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.

During Zwanze 2026 with almost the whole gang gathered around 😁
Aroma: a lot of botanicals, some funk and bitterness.
Taste: along the same lines. Nice funk and light bitterness in aftertaste.
Overall: pretty good and pleasant, but botanicals is not really my thing. For those who love it, it will be amazing for sure.

Hazy deep red colour and a beautiful purple head. Aroma's of sweet cherries, cherry pith, light sweet & sour. Retronasal there's a lot of cherries, it's sourish, light sweet, woody, herbs. Flavour is moderate sour, light sweet, cherry pith. Light medium bodied. Flavour lingers a long time and has some herbal and woddy bitterness.
