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.

2025 bottle. Cloudy rosy amber with a fluffy white head. I love good pepper and the aroma of it is great here, with gentle old lemon and some apricot stones behind. Creamy. Perhaps there's a slight medicinal quality to the pepper/ gentle lemon combination. Only a little sour, not really funky. Refreshing with the pepper providing the finish. Deft, tasteful. Part skill, part imagination and part taste.

A deep red. Still. Very dry. Raisin, tart, a bit on the wild side. Oak, a touch of cherry pit. Finish is acidic and lingers. Quite an experience.

Slightly unclear red body under a small, slightly bright pink/white head. Aroma is funky with acidic cherries, red berries and hint of oak. Taste has acidic red berries/cherry and feels a bit sharp, tart with mild funk, integrated oak and some bitterness. The berry part is rather mild, still quite distinct and all over a nice and tasty fruit lambic.

Flaska från Gerijptebieren drucken med ölföreningen. Frisk med väl avvägd dyra, lite funk, druvor och aningen mineraler. Harmonisk och mycket god.

Bottle shared with dédé. Nice clear ruby to purple. Massive grapes, soft funk, yoghurt, wheat. Jammy and fruity and soft Cantillon light sour lambic. Lovely as always.
