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.

8.4/10
LCI. Between the last two, touch brighter mouthfeel, light red fruit, balanced well, touch vinous. Dry elegant finish

LCI, very vinous, lots of forest fruit, blackcurrant, tartness more from the fruit than the funk.

LCI. Still a bit young, lovely tart grape, wild funk. Touch of something round, pedio-like, lingering.

LCI. Two St Lam SbS (photo taken after I had drunk most of the 2024). Much purer and more depth of grape. Funk shines

LCI. Maybe needs another 6 months. Great, but the cherry is a bit on the nose. Fruity, funky, super dry.

LCI. SBS with the Giardino wine. The grapes are very sweet and fruity, the wine is a bit thin, so the funk here adds a lovely layer of complexity and depth. Thanks Kenneth

LCI. A bunch of my photos didn’t come out. Had this side by side with the Giardine wine with Tufa grapes as ell. Light floral honey sweetness, elegant funk. Classy, one of the better of the wine pairs I’ve had
