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.

Bouteille 75cl partagée avec Isaac, Sergi, Costa, Bernat, Tavo, Iñaki, Nacho, Trota - El Birrot & Basque region friends mega tasting. Merci! Anno 2023.
Couleur léger acajou, col fin rosé-blanc-cassé.
Arôme au bouquet marqué par les lambics - funk assez distinct de Cantillon - raisin, léger floral, fruits rouges.
Palais garde une approche assez funk avec un caractère tirant sur les fruits rouges - notes framboise, cerise et léger mûres - assez sèche tout au long avec une touche rappelant le poivre blanc concassé. Effet funk perdure également.

Diluted golden with a wispy white head. A bit of must right off the bat followed by light acidic notes but not over the top- just a light amount. A bit of oak followed by earth along side a touch of well-integrated grapes and citrus notes. Medium bodied. Finish is medium-dry with light acidity. Beautiful beer.

Bottle (2016) shared. Pale yellow color, no head. Aroma and flavor are tart, sourish a bit, very dry finish. Hard to describe properly but quite okay, at least, for a glass, a bottle of this is way too much I'd say. 7-7-7-7-6

Fresh, bright minerality. Peach and apricot, underripe skin. Still a desert-island beer

Bottle, 75cl, at Cafe Pardaf. 2023 vintage. A delicious brew, peppery, perfumed, woody and lightly funky. It has some body too, without being sweet. It's not too tart either, it's just really balanced. And the pepper works just fine here. Love it. 949417 251108
