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.

Hazy deep straw color without much of a head. Gentle vinuos notes against a backdrop of earthy funkiness. Pretty Tasty.

Hazy brick red color with a thin bubbly white head that is tinted pink and persists. Earthy spicy funky. The cherry melds nicely with the spice in this one super tasty.

Hazy golden orange color with a thin bubbly white head that persists. Earthy spicy funky. The spice is a bit strong imho but it was tasty.

On draft at 't Brugs Beertje Brugge. I mean its wonderful. Its just so wonderful. It makes me feel so happy. The flavour is pure apricot will a slightly sour beer behind it. Its not overly sour. Its beautifully balanced. Only minus is the aroma where there is a sour sweet thing. After that its stunning. Mouthfeel. Flavour. Finish. Amazing.

Draught at monk's cafe: pours purplish red with a white head. Aroma is ref wine, wood, minerals funkiness. Taste is lightly tart, woody, not too sweet, fairly dry. Quite nice.
