Cantillon is the last traditional lambic brewery within Brussels, in the Anderlecht district, and has worked as a living museum of gueuze since 1900. Lambic ferments spontaneously with yeasts from the air and rests for years in oak barrels.
What the tour is like
Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday, from 10:00 to 16:00, it is self-guided with a leaflet, takes an hour, and ends with three tastings: lambic, gueuze and a fruit beer. It costs €9 (€8 depending on age) and cannot be booked. On Saturdays there is a guided tour of an hour and a half for €13, booked online. It is closed on Wednesdays, Sundays and public holidays; the shop is open until 17:00. Dogs may not enter.
Getting there
It is at 56 rue Gheude, ten minutes' walk from Bruxelles-Midi station, where the Charleroi bus arrives.
