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.

Bone dry. Juicy, earthy fruit flavours. ..................................

Not enough fruit for a fruit beer. The base lambic is pretty good, though, so it's not a total loss.

Cloudberry lambic made for Akkurat pub in Stockholm. Yes, it is very sour, but unlike certain other Cantillon fruit beers, this one you can actually taste the fruit, as the cloudberry flavour bursts out. Very juicy and refreshing. Earthy notes. A side note - if you thought Cantillon was expensive in the USA, you should see how much it costs in Sweden!
