Certainly one of the world’s ’must-visit’ beer locations. The tour is quite unique in that after an introduction to the brewery by one of the staff you are on your own to wander around the brewery by yourself. The cafe is simple with a range of five or so Cantillon beers in bottle. On our visit we had the classic gueuze, the framboise and the Zwanze 2011. You can buy a nice range of bottles to take away (pretty much the entire normal Cantillon range plus a few specials), and the prices are likely the best you will ever find for Cantillon. The brewery is only a short (appx. 5-10 minute) walk from the Midi Station, so there is really no excuse to not come here if you are visiting Brussels.

The place is amazing. When I walked in I was hit by the distinctive lambic smell from the barrels they were cleaning in the basement. The tour was self guided so no opportunity to answer questions except at the end. A great way to spend an afternoon. The only complaint is the limited selection of beers on sale - most were sold out or simply not for sale. I was only allowed one Lou Pepe Kriek and even though there were crates of Iris around, they would not sell me any! I had to hunt it down elsewhere. If you want to try the Cantillon Zwanze you can only drink it on the premises - so make sure you don’t turn up late in the day just before closing!

One of the best places to enjoy visiting a microbrew. Any tourist to Brussels HAVE TO go this Brasserie

Neat little place, labeled a museum due to some health hazzard issues and financial reasons. Lots of tourists running through the tour, that seems to annoy Jean. Got to hang out with him after and talk seriously about lambic. He gave us his opinions on many current issues like ebay, talked about zwanze day (which hadn’t happened yet), and loerik. Fun spot, nice shirts and such. A very interesting experience. Jean needs money so he labels it a museum. Tourists bring him money but overrun the place as a result. He gets annoyed and stand-offish as a result of dealing with idiots all day. That only bothered us for the beginning though, because we could do the tour on our own. Once finished, we talked to him, and after a few moments, our conversation was full force, discussing zwanze, ebay, loerik, and so forth. He opened up a jonge lambic not offered as an "after tour" beer. We bought a few others and enjoyed hanging out. If you are patient and courteous, Jean will talk with you person-person, not brewer-tourist, but don’t come expecting to open Soleil de Minuit or something.

Amazing place for the tour and for the prices of the bottles to buy. So much atmosphere. Keep going back. Would love to make it to a public brewing day one day.

To be seen for the brouwerie itself. Product, if far from bad, are not so fantastic. Met them first time on a beer exhibit where they were offering 1year old lambic... terrible. Some nice products like "Lou pepe". People there not so friendly.
