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.

25.10.2021: Taster at home courtesy of Sander, big thanks. orange murky color, small white head. smells heavy marzipan, apricot pits, soured joghurt, nice smell. medium body, soft carbonation. tastes of apricots, stone fruits, marzipan, joghurty, grassy. finishes lightly sour with notes of apricots, joghurt and grassy notes. had this two months ago at the brewery (kind of in unfermented state), where it was great, super almonds forward, now its good, but quite heavy on the joghurt, probably needs a month or two to clear up some.

0,75l bottle at home. Bottled 17. August 2021, 2021 cork. yellow hazy color, small white head. smells parfumy, stone fruits, apricots, jammy notes, . full body, lively carbonation. tastes citric, grassy, stone fruits, apricots, lactic sourness, volatile acids. finishes dry and rather sour with notes of citric, grassy and apricots. I like it, very refreshing in this heat, but very very sour, some funk would be great, unbalanced.
