Cantillon Brewery/Museum

Brewery with their own beers.

A place and brewery you just HAVE to visit Essential for all beer pilgrims. Excellent guided tour. Merc shop and a lovely bar. Perfect place rating #1500

Absolutely essential brewery for beer and natural wine lovers ????. They have a tour available for 7€ which include 3 lambic samples (Unblended, Classic Gueuze and Kriek).The tour is a self-guided in depth explanation of the spontaneous brewing process while walking alongside the equipment described. Such a great experience to see the coolship and barrels of this legendary brewery ??. The bar had a fantastic bottle list with world class fruit lambic for 20-25€ pr. bottle (750mL). We had Lou Pepe Kriek and Piacere which was absolutely incredible ??????. Unfortunately it wasn't possible to buy the bottles for takeaway ??. Another downside is they close quite early at 17:00. They offer high quality merchandise such as Cantillon signs, coasters and T-shirts??! Overall one of the best beer experiences I have ever had ??????.

Classic fabulous place. Bar at upstairs is just fascinating. Must visit for anyone. Lots of big bottles available and they were reasonably priced 20/25e.

Definitely worth a visit if in Brussels. They offer a self guided tour of the facility, which was pretty neat, and interesting to see that they are still using all the traditional brewing equipment and techniques. Would have been cool to go when they are actually brewing but that’s only Oct-April. Something a little different and the tour helps offset that their profits from the beer are constrained by their size/use of traditional methods without industrialization plus the production of the beer is time consuming as the beers are matured in house at least 3 years. At the end of the tour you got to sample the Lambik, Gueuze, and either the Kriek or Framboise. Then they had glasses of the Gueuze and Fou Foune available. And you could purchase a bottle of some of their limited runs to consume on site. These are typically small runs using certain barrels or collaborations with wineries. Anyway, worth a stop for sure to learn the history.

Came in on a rainy day. Did the tour, samples, then a couple beers. Very special place, great beers and brewing history.

Le musée est super, des plus intéressants à visiter, avec la visite guidée (sans, ce doit être un peu moins bien, logiquement). Accueil très sympathique, les employés sont des passionnés et ça se sent. Côté bar, le choix est très large pour déguster des perles rares de la brasseries, là où le magasin offre - et c'est compréhensible - un choix beaucoup plus restreint en fonction de la production du moment. Un très bon moment.

Visited on Monday for Quintessence. It was good to tour right around the brewery during the tastings. Lots of history, with loads to see. The beer is alright too! The only letdowns are some of the staff - the snotty American intern and Berto, who is miserable as sin and has apparently been overtly racist at times recently.
