| DarioSpezza (10), , Italy | | November 24, 2009 You simply HAVE to go to visit the Brasserie Cantillon, this place is out of time. | | santinogbr (16), , Italy | | November 15, 2009 Assolutamente immancabile per ogni amante della birra, straordinaria la visita del museo corredata dalla enorme gentilezza e passione di Jean Van Roy. Grazie di esistere! | | gyllenbock (19), Stockholm, Sweden | | October 27, 2009 Visited on a Saturday in October 2009.
About 20-25 minutes walk from the Grand Place, not a bad location at all.
Very friendly staff, Mr Van Roy did welcome us to the place. You get a printed guide and then you walk around the brewery. Very interesting and a great experience. I really like all the old equipment, not to mention all the bottles that were here and there. After the guide we got a sample of the Gueuze and Rosé De Gambrinus, excellent stuff!
If you visit Brussels you have to visit Cantillon, amazing place really! Ticket cost 5 EUR.
Very good prices in the shop. For example a 75 cl bottle of Grand Cru Bruocsella did cost 5,40. 3 bottles (37,5cl) of Gueuze 7,30.
| | lassem (24), Copenhagen, Denmark | | October 5, 2009 Situated in the outskirts of brussels. Close your car. The place itself is great if you are in to lambics. You feel your dragged back to the days of handcrafted beers. Nice tour on your own and a reat scenery of aging barrels laying in layers...blease forget me here when you close for the night.. : Youu can taste what ever they feel like opening - sometimes its free but mostly you need to pat a euro or so for a sample. There is a store where you can use allll your money - please do so. | | beerlover73 (10), Marseille, France | | October 5, 2009 I love Lambic and Van Roy family is Lambic... so a visit to Cantillon Brewery is a must, and after all a taste of Kriek or something else... super | | marchcow (36), Coralville, Iowa | | September 21, 2009 Well worth the walk from the center. Walked in and was given a personal introduction from one of the assistants and then guided onto the self tour. Wandered around for about an hour. Amazing place, beautiful old equiment and aromas through out. Two delicious samples at the end - gueuze and kriek. Jean De Roy, the owner and brewer, and his wife were pouring the samples and talking to the guests, very personal service and attention. The least expensive bottles of Cantillon I’ve ever seen available. 3 750 ml bottles packs of the standard Gueuze Lambic Bio for 8 Euros. You can tell they are passionate about it. Must see. | | Feinschmecker (51), Seattle, Washington | | September 19, 2009 In a mostly Arabic neighborhood of Brussels, almost hidden down a side street. Considering the significance of what they are doing here, it is a wonder there is not more signage to lead you here. The give you run down of their process and hand you a printed and detailed guide of how they brew lambic beers. The place looks like it have never been cleaned up, it is cluttered, it smells - it was amazing. Alone the sour aroma from the casks is worth the trip. The main guys are friendly and speak English. | | Beerlando (43), Orlando, Florida | | September 3, 2009 Simply stated, this is one of the coolest places, let alone "beer" places, I have ever been in my entire life. IF YOU GO TO BRUSSELS, YOU MUST GO HERE. I mean that. This place is sick. I mean, you are talking about a family owned lambic brewer and gueuze blender that has been around since 1900.....why on earth would anyone not want to visit? The self guided tour is second to none. One cannot fully appreciate the old-world craftsmanship that goes into lambic brewing and gueuze blending until this tour is experienced. The barrel rooms are jaw dropping. The craftsmanship of the original copper brew kettles and fermentation vessels are awe inspiring. The cobwebs, spiders, brewery dog and cat are all integral parts of the masterpiece. At the conclusion of the tour, they pour free gueuze and kriek, just to wet the appetite for the various other blends that Cantillon offers. An absolute bargain at 5 Euros, the tour was so cool, I almost went back the next day with my wife (who missed the initial tour). Basically, this is as close to lambic Mecca as one can get. | | armando629 (36), Budapest, Hungary | | September 1, 2009 I was here about two years ago, but i think the ambiance of the brewery never changes in a wrong direction. Wonderful beer"museum", you can understand and see the method of spontaneus fermentation. Really nice and authentic equipment, friendly stuff, fine tastes of really lambic beers. Must try place for beer enthusiasts.... | | Nekronos (50), Xalapa, Mexico | | August 24, 2009 Excellent place to learn and enjoy. The guys in there are very kind and look forward to make your stay pleasant. |
