My husband and I visited Cantillon while in Brussels. The walk to get here was a bit odd, but it was worth the walk. We have loved Cantillon beers, so this was something we were looking forward to. The staff were incredibly friendly and the tour is completely self-guided. It was minimal and not at all interactive, but the charm... More

For those interested in beer and it's history, this is a spot you must stop. The family run brewery is inviting, entertaining, education and the family are good and helpful people. More

Very interesting and historic brewery despite the nondescript exterior. Lambic and Gueuze not everyones favourite beer choices but well worth sampling and soaking up the atmosphere More

Our beer guide, Cesar, took us to this Brewery after visiting an old pub (circa 1600s) and before one of his favorite more modern pubs. Overall I enjoyed the Beer Tour and this brewery because very little in Brussels was interesting...but...the beer tour is overpriced for what you get in terms of knowledge and beer. More

You should definitely make time for this during your trip to Brussels. For 6 euro, you get a tour of the brewery and an education on the brewing and history of lambic beer. The building itself is historic and the beer could be likened more to wine than a commercial/large scale brew. The fourth generation of brewers is now running... More

Love, love, love this place! What's not to love about the last family-run brewery in Brussels using the traditional open-air fermentation process? Gueze is definitely an acquired taste, so as our guide said, you really have to forget everything you know about beer before you try it. My favorite is the sour cherry, but the raspberry is also really good... More

A nicely hidden away brewery with friendly and helpful staff. This brewery/Museum is hidden away down a side street behind an unassuming front door. A brief explanation was availble in many languages of the history and processes of the place and a guide book was handed to us, also presumably in the appropriate language, mine was in conveniently in English....

The tour was interesting but beer was only so-so. Beer is brewed from mid-Nov to mid-April, the rest of the year is for guided tours and visits. So not too much action... More
