(Visited Sep 2025 ... and many times before) Very nice beer focused restaurant, centrally located about halfway between Moeder Lambic Fontainas and Grand Place. Fairly small place, art nouveau exterior, a bit more basic interior in white and dark brown. Around 30 seats, and a couple of tables outside. Four taps, usually one lager and the rest could be more or less anything Belgian craft. Very good, but not huge, selection of bottles, traditional Belgian craft beers. Lovely food, traditional Belgian fair, cooked with beer. Can get crowded, sometimes there's a queue outside. But sometimes slower. Good service. A must visit.

(Visited Sep 2025) Nice brewery and taproom, located just 100 m from Cantillon Brewery. Quite a shy door from the street, once you go through, the brewery is across the courtyard. Brewery to the left and taproom on the right. Taproom is fairly basic and industrial in concrete and light wood. 11 taps of their own beers. Most of them in modern beer styles. Cheese and sausages for snacks. Friendly service. Not overly crowded on my visit on a Friday afternoon, but you can notice a slight spillover when Cantillon closes between 4 and 5. Well worth a visit if you're in the area (and you probably will be).

(Visited Sep 2025) Brewery, museum and bar, all in one. Located in the Anderlecht area, a nice walk from the city center, or take the tube. Guided tours on Saturday, self-guided tours around the brewery on weekdays (closed Wed and Sun). The tour gives good knowledge about the lambic brewing process. The bar is up the stairs. Fairly spacious. Usually around 20 bottles available. Some fairly pricey, but you might not find them anywhere else, so ... Note that the bar stops serving at 4 PM (sharp!). Bottles available for take away as well. A must visit for the whole experience.
