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.

Bottle, bottled 26? May 2025. Color: Lightly hazy orange amber, dense off-white head. Aroma: Peppery, spicy, fruity lime and subtle funk. Taste: Clearly present yet subtle peppery, spicy notes, fruity lime and stonefruit, earthy, funky hints and some oak wood. Nice spicy and refreshing tart fruit combination from start to finish. Dry-ish, peppery mouthfeel at the finish. Very well balanced. Medium body, below average carbonation. Moderate to over moderate tart. Very nice.

Shared from already opened 0.75l bottle, huge thx Brandt! Ruby, bit misty body, no head. Huge distinct red wine aroma, bit minerally, simple but pleasant, mildly corky and cellary maybe. Quite a bit cheesy, smoky, dry mildly tart red grape juice... Likely went off despite being resealed properly, so will hopefully rerate.
