All the other breweries are outside the city nowadays, so a daytrip means this is the only accessible one. It was great getting to explore the brewery on your own. The owner got a bit grumpy at me accussing me of stealing a beer whilst taste testing, however due to me being on my own I didn't get a one-on-one... more

If you are looking to tour a modern brewery, or for a slick marketing production like the Heineken Brewery Museum, this isn't it. However, if you appreciate handcrafted beer, traditional brewing processes, and small family owned businesses, this is the place for you. It is off the beaten tourist path in terms of location. I opted to walk, and as... more

This place is located in what appeared to be a small warehouse/residential district in southern Brussels. Due to the nice weather and our eagerness to explore, we had (mistakenly) decided to make the trek to the brewery by shoes instead of the more popular metro and tram networks. It was an interesting walk and a somewhat eye opening view of... more

My husband and I are lovers of beer and had a great time touring this brewery. The owners greeted us and were very friendly. We received a short speech about the brewery and a booklet before heading out on our own for a self-guided tour. It ended with the opportunity to sample two beers of our choosing, which turned out... more

Upon the recommendation of a friend, we sought out the Cantillon brewery in Brussels. We could not have been happier with the experience. The tour is self-guided. The brewery owners provide you with a leaflet which is keyed to markers along the way (the leaflets come in multiple languages). It was very interesting to see the entire process from raw... more

I haven't been to any other Brewery's so I can't compare with others. I found the this Brewery tour very interesting. We went at the end of summer when there was no brewing happening. It's 5euro's to get in and you get to taste 2 beers at the end. They give you a quick overview before sending you off on... more

Off --- off the beaten path (in a not so great neighborhood) you'll find the Cantillon Brewery. Worth the trouble of getting there by any means you choose, the brew tour is self-paced but prefaced by a short introduction of the brewery history and type of beer (lambic) The tour is well laid out and the pamphlets (English) were helpful... more
