Ryan TauerOctober 29, 2016Absolutely amazing! So cool to see the old equipment still used to brew. The beer is phenomenal. Vintage bottles are available to purchase. Several bottles available for take away.
- Phil ClampNovember 25, 2014If you can, take the tour. Very knowledgeable and entertaining talk on how they brew this very special beer. These guys have passion and commitment to their product.
Quintessential visit when in Brussels. Authentic lambic brewery with an impressive on-site consumption menu. Go for the Gueuze, stay for the Foufoune, Aunis, Carignan, Zwanze,....
Sophia HJune 29, 2019VERY different from modern (sweet) lambics! Base lambic was interesting - acidic and not sweet at all. Gueuze = quite good. Kriek and Rose de Gambrinus (raspberry) = all right (Kriek > Rose)
Bjorn BeheydtDecember 20, 2016One of the real traditional breweries that is still left in the city of Brussels. Come here, have a guided tour, and learn a lot about beer and brewing, and taste some of the best beers one can find!- emma margaretMay 31, 2016Self guided tour (7E) includes two tastings and a booklet that teaches a lot about the lambic brewing process. Some of the best beer I've had - get the gueze & kriek for sure! Friendly staff. Perfect.
Laurens van de WielNovember 24, 2018Excellent selection of sour ales, I can highly recommend the tour, the beers here mostly come in large 75cl bottles and can be shared with other visitors. Personnel could be a bit more friendly- Francisco Gutiérrez JeriaMay 27, 2016The self guided tour is amazing, and they got one of the most unusual beers I've never tasted before. The people there is awesome, if you love crafted beers you'll have a blast there.
- Liene A.July 22, 2017A #1 must-visit for any beer lover in Brussels.A self-guided tour with 2 samples costs 7 EUR,very reasonable.Unfortunately only~2-3 beers are available for takeaway, most can be consumed on the spot.
ErikApril 27, 2017LMAO at the person who described this as an "incredibly sketchy part of town". It's fine, honestly. If you like beer DO NOT miss this place. Even if you don't like beer you might have your eyes opened
MonicaMay 25, 2018Great Lambic Beer, with fruit but not sweet. Their best description is “the missing link between beer and wine”
Cantillon has 7 beers listed in Ratebeer's Best of Sour Beers Top 15, Lou Pepe Pure Kriek was voted one of the World's Best Beers and Cuvée Florian one of the World's Top New Beer Releases [2014]
Chris LeishmanJuly 26, 2016Interesting place, and great passion/quality. Only drawback was the patronising by (one of) the staff: it's not nice to treat people like idiots when they don't know everything about your passion.
Amy RobertsonSeptember 2, 2014This is a hike from downtown and in a neighborhood with little happening. The place looks closed, but just ops the door and walk in.
Martin JonassonMay 2, 2023Great lambic place and museum. Go the guides tours and buy with you a bottle or two.- medvedevSeptember 2, 2017The taste of the Lambic is very interesting and a must have fot everyone who is interested in special beers
Alex StillJanuary 5, 2016Try to visit on a brew day, it's an amazing experience. Bring cash for the tasting bar and an empty suitcase for takeaway bottles.
One of The best ! Amazing brews, lots of rare beers. Taste and buy them on the spot. Can't afford to miss this if you like beer !
Hop Leaf Beer Hong KongAugust 17, 2014Get here early to snag the limited edition and rare beers like Foufonne etc...
D ASeptember 15, 2014So amazing! Enjoyed the self guided tour just to see their unique set up. Amazing beers to taste!- Brooks HurdJuly 1, 2013A nice tour- self guided with a guide book. After the tour, you sample the gueuze, Lambic, Kriek and other Cantillon beers
- Genki SugimotoFebruary 8, 2016just amazing experience... you can walk among people making beer! the smell of wort was superb
Sony Mobile WTAMay 13, 2011Let's do a tour through a real brewery in the heart of the city. See the traditional beer making apparatus, guided by one of the enthusiastic Belgians.
Lilla OcsovaiNovember 11, 2018The gueuze is nice. Lambic is hardcore for unexperienced beer drinkers.. 😊
Ian CoveyMarch 29, 2016While in an incredibly sketchy part of town, Cantillon is not to be missed by any serious craft beer lover. Take the tour of the world-renowned lambic brewery (replete with cobwebs!), then taste away!
S LOctober 27, 20147€ for the self guided tour, includes 2 tastings. Plan about an hour for the visit.
Eduardo de La RocqueJune 13, 2014If you love beer, loves history or is just a curious person, you must visit this brewery.
Christoffer Falck-JohansenJuly 18, 2017Wonderfull place, lots of history, friendly staff, tasty beers and a smal shop.
Floor BApril 26, 20187€ for a tour with 2 small glasses of Lambic beers. Takes 30' all, rustic but quite a change
Their gueuze has always been a great beer, but for a couple of years now it is even made from 100% organic lambic! Read more
Charlie FerreiraApril 14, 2012Do the self tour or join another tour. A time machine to how brewing was back in the day. Samples at the end of the tour.
One.Checked.BagMay 26, 2013Tour this brewery and taste their lambics. Check their website for actual brewing days.
Beer is good but don't believe their hours for a minute. They stop serving at 4.30 and are disappointingly militant about it, even if you arrive shortly after.
Jeffrey EdisonAugust 16, 2012CAREFUL: in addition to a couple of nice guys, there is one very RUDE and OBNOXIOUS guy working here. Be on your guard if you are curious as he might get angry and VERY RUDE. My daughter was shocked.
From time to time, a delicious belgian beer can't hurt ;-)

Welcome to the Brussels museum of the Gueuze, the living museum of the traditional Gueuze. A living museum, where you'll find different forms of life, not only the Van Roy-Cantillon family but also the living micro-organisms which cause the spontaneous fermentation of the lambic.
