Belgian beer is my favorite beer..and this is some of the best of its kind! I came here just after opening in the morning to have a beer while on a 7hr layover. I didn't have enough time for the self guided tour but I hung out in the main area and chatted with some of the employees while enjoying my beer. Really nice folks here! There is a small seating area to enjoy your beer and check out some of the brewing equipment and stare wistfully at the barrels and bottles of deliciousness. read more

Love this place, how old this place and their traditions is a must see! They brew beer only during their hop season. Brewery tour is worth it. Definitely a must see. read more

If you have any interest in beer and how it was traditionally made, check this place out! Their beer recipe is around 6,000 years old, and they only use old school equipment. I'd suggest the guided tour as opposed to the self-guided tour because it's only a few euros more expensive and it's very interesting and educational! The brewery itself is cool, and you get to taste 2 beers with the guided tour price. All in all, a really great experience! read more

This is one of the best breweries in the world, no question about it. They produce the best lambic in Belgium and have been doing so for a very long time. They have a good selection of beers to have on site as well as some for take away as well. The family and staff are informative and nice. It's alway a pleasure to visit and when I leave I can't wait to get back to there again! read more

This is none other than *the* world's temple to sour beer. Beer geeks the world over are aware of Cantillon, but this brewery occupies a special place in the hearts of those who favor the sour funk of authentic Belgian lambics. If pressed, I would tell you that Cantillon is my favorite brewery in all the world. As we navigated Brussels' public transit to get here, I must have been more excitedly nervous than a kid on Christmas morning. It's funny, I always had the idea that this brewery would be located in a more bucolic, pastoral setting. Nothing could be further from the truth - this place is smack in the middle of bustling, incredibly non-pastoral Brussels, near the train station. A little note before I continue - I would say that this brewery is not for the uninitiated. Unless you either know you love seriously sour, funky beer, or you have an adventurous palate, find another brewery to visit. This shouldn't be too difficult, as you're in Belgium, after all. Otherwise, you run a high risk of thinking the beer sucks, and doing something ridiculously absurd like coming back on Yelp and writing a 1 or 2 star review. Don't do it. If you're not ready, you're not ready. Guided tours are available, but I think the self-guided tour is perfect. You wander around the brewery with a brochure correlated with numbers assigned to various rooms, pieces of equipment, etc. I've been on a fair number of brewery tours, and they are all pretty similar. Here's our stainless steel tanks, blah, blah, blah. Not so at Cantillon, a place that features a giant wooden "coolship" in the attic, wooden vats, and cobwebs and spiders. Yes, cobwebs and spiders - they don't dare mess with the entrenched microflora and microfauna, for fear of disrupting the environment that makes these spontaneously fermented beers so unique. There are very few concessions to modernity in here - lambics have been brewed this way for hundreds of years. While the tour was self guided as I mentioned above, I did get to talk with one of the employees before and after the tour, and had a blast chatting with this guy. Never in my life have I experienced such light-hearted, down-to-earth snobbiness. Yes, they do think very highly of themselves here, but 1) they deserve to and 2) they maintain quite the sense of humor and perspective. They think it's silly the way American beer fanatics fawn over their "rare" beer and treat it like it's gold. To them, it's just beer. Mind you, they are extremely proud of their beer, but it's still just beer, meant to be shared with good company, not hoarded. I try to remember that. In that spirit, we come to the tasting room, (obviously) the best part of the whole experience. Here can be had almost all of the beers sour fanatics salivate over, in a relaxed setting - no huge line or jostling crowd. Believe it or not, the prices are reasonable, too - if I recall correctly, I spent little more than 20 bucks per (after conversion from Euros) on bottles that would run anywhere from 60 to 100 USD in the very few U.S. beer bars that carry such bottles. In the seating area, we met a small group of other American beer geeks, from Atlanta, and Asheville - we joined forces, bought bottles, and had an impromptu bottle share. What a day. This made us 10 minutes late for our lunch reservation at an area restaurant, where we were rudely turned away....but drinking Cantillon beers at the source was worth it. I would say that this is a once-in-a-lifetime experience, but if I did, I'd kind of be admitting that I'm probably not coming back....which would be sad. I do hope to come back someday. read more

If you are at all interested in Belgian beer, you must visit this brewery. It is possibly the last traditional lambic brewery, which is very different from any other brewery you might have visited. They are passionate about their beer and their process, and about keeping the traditions. The self-guided tour starts with an explanatory overview, then you get to wander through the brewery on your own. It ends with two samples served by a very knowledgeable brewer. If you want more beer you can buy it there. They have a table area to sit with a wood-burning stove. We bought the gueze cheese to bring home, and it was very good. They usually brew on Tuesdays and Thursdays in the cooler months only, so those would probably be the most fun days to visit. They also have some weekend brew days once in a while that they post on their website. read more

A jewel of Brussels and a must visit even if you've been to a brewery already. They are one of the last breweries left in the world that produce lambic beer in the traditional way using wild yeast causing spontaneous fermentation. We stopped by on a Thursday morning in January and were greeted by the great-granddaughter of the founder. They were actually brewing that morning so we were able to see the mashing tuns in action extracting the sugars from the cereals making wort. The tour (6 Euro) is self-guided and can be completed in about 30 minutes. At the end you are treated to 2 tastings of the products (1 gueuze, 1 kriek). The bar area is traditional and cute with barrel tables and a wood burning fireplace that keeps everyone warm during the winter season. The family/staff is very friendly and accommodating and will answer any questions you have. Their beers are available for sale and the cheapest you'll find them (especially in the States). read more

A glass of Brasserie-Brouwerij Cantillon's Gueuze. C'est magnifique! I can now officially announce that I like Gueuze{at least from Cantillon} and to a certain extend Lambics{again for now, from Cantillon}. The Gueuze is truly "Brussels Champagne", as it is the only remaining brewery within the city of Brussels. This Gueuze took years-in-the-making as with all Gueuze that combines young and old Lambics. From the scale of the operations, they really do have a limited amount of bottles available and when it runs out of that vintage year, you're out of luck as not only each bottle may differ in taste but more so from year-to-year. Self guided tour was just a 5-minute summary then a walk-through with booklet in-hand, so the trick is to walk-through the boring scene as QUICKLY as possible and towards the TASTING at the end of the tour. If you have toured Wineries & Breweries as much as I have, then this is simply another routine step-by-step tour for which this specific tour you do not have a bottle or glass in-hand. Maybe I should have just walked backwards to the tasting room to begin with, oh well... As for the Kriek(cherry) and Rosé de Gambrinus(raspberry), both pleasant versions for Lambics but don't take my word for it since my Lambic experience is restricted. If I recall, raspberry was the pick over the cherry but nonetheless if you're not into SOUR Fruit Beers, it maybe hard for you to choose one over the other.

I went to this place with my partner while visiting Belgium. Right from the start the people at this place were borderline rude and very disorganized/unclear when it came to purchasing a drink as the man at the entrance (where the beers are at) told us we had to go to to a different spot. At the second spot, my partner then bought a tour, but wanted a drink before starting so we went back to the first spot where the first man was stand-off-ish with us again. Furthermore, although they offer tours of their brewery in English, it is very disorganized and the people's English still needs practice because they apparently do not mean what they say therefore creating a misunderstanding. This place is basically over-hyped and overrated. The people here give themselves too much importance. read more

Definitely not what I expected.... but I mean that in a god way. With all the notoriety they have received I expected it to be kind of commercialized... def not the case. Off the beaten path a little, if you are a tourist you may feel lost as you approach it.... and you will probably smell it before you see it. The tour was very educational and teaches you much about the process of making lambic and sour beer. It is still a very traditional setup, which I found to be very cool. Generous tasting following the tour. Friendly employees, all fluent in English. If you are not familiar w/ lambics or sours I would advise to do some research and tasting prior to visiting.... A must for craft beer geeks! Drink local! read more

I've visited many breweries and been on a lot of brewery tours, but I can safely say that Cantillon is at the very least the most unique. This unassuming little establishment in a less-than-trodden neighborhood of Brussels is a classic stop on any beer-cation in Belgium. Not only is the beer world-renown, you get an experience in brewing arts and old-world beer craftsmanship. The actual brewery is nothing more than an old warehouse down a small alley. Once inside the large wooden doors, it's as if you've stepped into another world. Taking the self-guided tour around the facility is a treat for you get exposed to an art of brewing you rarely see in the age of mechanization and sterilization. The very smell of the place - oak, musty, and organic - give it such an amazing ambiance. Cobwebs and old wooden barrels line the gangways giving the brewery an unbelievable feel. At the end of the tour guests are treat to samplings of Cantillon's selection of gueuze, kriek or other lambic beers. If you're not familiar with the style the sour, barnyard taste can be off-putting. But, once you let your palate settle into the flavors the real subtleties and genius come through. For a really unique experience as well as some great beers, Cantillon is a once-in-a-lifetime visit. read more

You won't be disappointed. This family brewery brews lambic beers that only undergo spontaneous/natural fermentation. This is a bit outside the inner circle of Brussels. If you just walked by on the street, you would have no idea this brewery existed. The area is pretty deserted, and there is only a large door with no windows. We really thought the place was closed when we got here.. Except open the door and the place is pretty full! You can do a self-tour of the brewery for 6 EUR, which includes 2 tastings at the end of kriek and gueuze, or just go for the tasting. There's a cozy sitting area to relax and enjoy the beers. The tour starts off with a brief introduction, and all of the information is contained in a brochure. It was pretty interesting to see the place, especially since apparently it is still in use (as it is winter, it's not in use since it's not brewing season). If you look closely, in the room with the huge barrels, there's mold on a lot of the spigots..mmmm.... You can also purchase merchandise and an assortment of brews. I left with a bottle of Rosé de Gambrinus :) read more

As a lover of Gueuze beer and sours - I was in HEAVEN! My husband and I visited on a Saturday an paid the €7 admission for the tour. The tour starts with a brief history of the brewery and then you are set off on your own to explore and read through your handbook. I thought the brewery was fantastic - I loved how old everything was and that they haven't changed ANYTHING. It's so charming! After the tour, you are invited to have 2 tastings (price included in your entry fee). They start you with their base lambic - which is their base for all of their beers. It is a little flat, a little sour, and a little sweet - perfect starting point :) The 2nd taste is up to you, they have about 6-8 options for by the glass tasting. My husband had the Faro and I had the high gravity lambic. Both equally impressive. The Faro had a bit more of a syrupy/sweet taste, but super delicious. We couldn't stop there - so we both got another glass. This time we tried their gueuze and their kriek. Possibly two of the best beer's I've ever tasted. The gueuze has a distinct sour/salty taste which I can't figure out how they get it so perfect. And the kriek is the perfect cherry beer. I'm not one for super sweet beers, and this kriek has the perfect amount of sweetness balanced with a tart cherry taste. Again, we couldn't stop there! We ended up sitting with another 2 couples and we decided to get 2 bottles (750 ml) a 2012 Lou Pepe Framboise and a Vigneronne. Again - both FANTASTIC brews! Seriously, Cantillon knows how to do beer right. It's a fantastic visit. I'd fly back to Brussles JUST to visit this place! read more

Cantillon coolships. YESSSSSS. If you are a beer enthusiast, I highly recommend a trip to the almighty Cantillon. 7 euros gets you a self-guided tour and 2 tasters at the end. I went in February and they were only brewing Tuesdays and Thursdays, so we were lucky enough to see them in action during the tour. Cantillon hasn't budged from their traditional spontaneous fermentation brewing process and it was really cool to see their original equipment and the barrel room! I love seeing barrel rooms and Cantillon's barrels are a lovely sight (; If you're lucky enough, you'll see their brewmaster at the bar. My roommate and I tried the Lambic, Gueuze, Kriek, and Rose de Gambrinus--all delightful! The tasting room is also very unassuming, cozy, and a perfect place to sit and write in your journal. Bottles here are as cheap as it gets! Go go go. read more

Well, I guess dreams really do come true: I made it here today! This place is a veritable Mecca of lambic production and should not be missed if you are a fan of the style. I came today (a Tuesday in March) around noon and was pleasantly greeted by staff upon entry (the brewery was not crowded at all). After a brief introduction to the brewery, I was given a brochure for a self guided tour, which was easy to follow and quite honestly a welcome reprieve from standard tours since you can take it at your own pace. The tour itself is pretty cool: you get to walk right through active brewing and there are really no rules so long as you are not a D-bag and touch things you should not. Basically, it's picture opportunities abound and an opportunity to drool over open fermentation techniques as well as old school equipment. After the tour, you get two tastings (I was given the Gran Gru aged one year and then the Iris). For 7 euro, this is a steal. Additional glasses run about 3 euro. The gift shop is great as well, with plenty of apparel options, and, of course, BEER! Everything is extremely reasonably priced: for reference, a 75 cl bottle of Gueze runs about 7 euro (you can get a three pack of 37.5 cl bottles for 11.50 euro). Variants run slightly higher, but not much. Definitely check this out! I walked from Grote Markt, and it was not bad. That said, if you're going to buy a lot, you may want to consider a cab or Uber for your return. read more

This is one of the Ten Wonders of the Beer World. Lambic is an acquired taste but if you can appreciate it, this place is a true piece of history. They make a world class product in a traditional setting, sell it at very reasonable prices, and truly appreciate their client base. I get there as much as I can. read more

This place is so cool. The actual location is just a bar, a souvenir shop and a self-guided tour of what used to be the brew area (it is no longer), BUT learning about this natural fermentation beer was awesome. I had no idea. Staff are friendly. Beer is super unique. Shirts are expensive but look very nice. If you like beer, come here. We can't get this in the States. read more

What an experience. This is a very small, very traditional Belgium lambic brewery but it packs a punch. One of the last of its kind!! If you are a beer lover and have a pallet for unique brews do not miss this place. The staff was friendly and accommodating the beer both flavorful and memorable. They close at 5pm and the last tour starts at 4pm. Even though they do self tours your tour starts with meeting one of their knowledgeable brewing staff to get an introduction to Cantillion. We had issues with travel which put us at the door at 4:10 and they were kind enough to still accommodate our small group. read more

A brewery designed for hipsters. Brian (I love ya man, but you're defo a hipster) wanted to come here on our trip to Brussels. So we did. The brewery itself is pretty cool looking (from the inside, from the outside, it's like a warehouse). Wood everywhere and casks. So we wanted to get some beer. And for €2 it seemed like a deal. Brian got a beer. I tried it to see if I liked it. I didn't. Alex got a lambic. I tried it to see if I liked it. I didn't. Robyn and Nava got some sort of cherry beer. I tried it to see if I liked it. I didn't. (You can see where this is going.) Apparently it's some sort of awesomely historic beer that tastes like crap. It's sour. It's unpleasant to the palate. It tastes like you're drinking off wine or vinegar. Clearly the point is to age it so long that it goes past any drinkable place. At least that's what it tasted like the point was. Nava had to down-it-in-one. The only one who liked it was Brian. He likes that sort of beer (but again, he's a hipster). Maybe it really is good. Maybe it's just not for me. Maybe only hipsters think it's good because they are trying so hard to like things that other people hate that even though the beer tastes like rancid dishwater they like it just to be contrary. I don't know. The worst part was when the dude serving the beer told Robyn in quite an angry way that all the beers are sour there when she asked for one that wasn't. The brewery tour seemed neat. We walked through. But we didn't have any sort of guide book, so we didn't pay. It's all self guided though. And apparently (according to other reviews) they have crap beer at the end for free. The T-shirts looked cool. If you want to have some really sour and vinegary tasting beer in Brussels, this is the place for you! If you want to drink something palatable, some place else might be better. read more

Self guided tours. What a genius idea. No having to stand with groups. You get to poke around and look through things or zip through as quickly as you want. Who cares! You choose! Have a tasting! Have a whole bottle! They provide a little booklet that provides more than enough information on the process. There was a lot of seating to chill out inside and enjoy the atmosphere of the brewery. If your thing is to be herded like cattle through an organized tour and ask lots of questions, this is probably not the place for you. However, if you like a relaxed atmosphere to chill out and enjoy some interesting Belgian beer, enjoy! read more

Cantillon, for better or worse, transformed in the consumer's mind from an obscure maker of bizarre sour beers from as recently as the mid to 2000s...to essentially the Rolls Royce of world breweries. The hype surrounding this brewery has maintained a steady maximum for many years imbuing its products with a mythical level of quality and desirability. The real Cantillon brewhouse is an actual museum and historic place. They brew on seemingly ancient equipment that is foreign to just about any modern day beer lover. Similarly, the flavors of their beers will be shocking to all those unfamiliar with the lambic beer style, for which Cantillon and its rival Drie Fonteinen are considered the undisputed masters. Hot wort (or unfermented barley tea) is pumped into open copper tubs in the attic of the brewhouse where it is inoculated with ambient yeast and bacteria, the majority of which reside in the brewery's old wooden rafters and wooden barrels. The inoculated wort is then left to ferment in oak barrels for many years, where wild yeast does it excessively slow magic to produce a sour concoction that tastes like a funky grapefruit lemonade. Visiting the brewery not only rewards you with its stunning ambiance and possible interaction with its head, Jean Van Roy..it also gives you access to some of the most coveted lambics in the world in bottles and on tap. Cantillon has gotten smarter of the years, and now instead of its rare releases going straight to the auction market, they are held by the brewery so that more people can enjoy them as prices a fraction of what they would garner in an auction. In a way, Cantillon's open brewhouse is a public service to all mega beer geeks. There is more reason now than ever to make the hajj to this mecca of sour beer. read more

Stop here from gare midi. Watch your back, the neighborhood may not be the best... The brewery has signs telling customers not to leave anything in their cars. The brewery itself has pleasant aromas of yeast on the nose. read more

They have a self guided tour so they have someone give you a quick overview and history on the place, they hand you a pamphlet then you are free to roam around. The tour comes with 2 sample beers. I had never tried sour beer but I heard this was the place for that. We tried a couple of their beers and it was a good experience. I enjoyed seeing how everything was made. Pretty cool. A must do while in Brussels. read more

Visiting Cantillon was my favorite experience while passing through Brussels. It's one of the few remaining family-run, traditional lambic breweries and definitely worth visiting whether you're into beer or not. Better, of course, if you're into beer, but worth popping in regardless. The small building houses the entirety of the brewing operation, where the beer is brewed and bottled the same way people made beer prior to pasteurization, meaning the product is subject to nature's whims and is only brewed seasonly. The beer picks up wonderful, unique flavors through the process of spontaneous fermentation and was a joy to experience. The self guided tour is easy and quick - you can get through the whole facility in 20 minutes. After the tour, and most importantly, you can sit around and taste test to your heart's content. One sample is provided with the tour fee but you can buy more beer after that. It took us about 30 minutes to walk there from the city center. If you're not into walking you can grab a cab. read more

You think you know a bit about beer, and then you come here and realize you know absolutely nothing at all. :-) It's all about the spontaneous fermentation process! read more

Cantillon Brewery is a fun and charming local brewing icon with a long heritage in Brussels. We came for the tour, which was an enjoyable and educational trip through the history of the brewery and their unique style of brewing. The tour guide was friendly, and the adventure through the various levels of the brewery was a blast. At the end, we were provided two samples of the beer made here - and if you've never had it before, prepare yourself. The flavor is unlike most other types of beers - very vinegary and a bit fruity, almost more like a wine than a beer. At the end of the day, it wasn't my cup of tea - I wouldn't order it for a normal go-to beer - but the tour and the experience were well worth the visit. Stop by if you're interested in learning more about this piece of Brussels history! read more

I can't add anything that hasn't already been said. For a brewery that is as world renown as Cantillon is, the vibe here is completely laid back and chill - which makes it even better. After the self-guided tour, make sure to purchase a bottle and enjoy it in the tasting room. Cheers! read more

Writing my review while sipping a Rosé de Gambrinus, produced by Brasserie Cantillon, is enough to say that I fully endorse the end products offered by this place. The last of the original Brussels Brasserie, it still operates much the way it always has. Over a 100 years of knowledge go into the creation of these delicious lambic styles of beers and it is refreshing to see the tradition and history kept whole despite industrialization around them. As you've guessed, you can visit the brasserie and even see the brewing process over the colder winter period when the conditions are right. We went as a group of yelpers and thoroughly enjoyed the tour. At the end you'll also get to sample some of the lambic, and can of course at your own expense try any of the other gueuse, kriek and fruit-flavored beers at the bar. The shop will supply you with small and big bottles, though not everything is always available. Now back to the Rosé de Gambrinus; it is a beautiful red color from the macerated raspberries that give it its deep fruity taste. A joy - you can't not go at least once, if not just to get a crate of beer as you certainly won't find this easily anywhere else in Brussels. read more

It's Cantillon. Come on. Seriously, a must see for any lambic/sour lover. Self guided tour, merch on site, and beers to have there. Off the beaten path a little bit through an interesting neighborhood. Get there. read more

I'd give them a fifth star if they didn't keep these weird European hours that keep locking me out of places to eat, drink, or both. The local man who waited on me was nonetheless extremely friendly, polite, and helpful. Bought a bottle of Rosé de Gambrinus and am enjoying it at the Thalys Lounge&More in Bruxelles. read more

Been here four or five times over the years and it is truly a museum when they are not brewing and a vibrant brewery when they are brewing. Self guided tour most of the time and if you are like me, that's the perfect way to roll. Beer here is primo, but only if you dig sour. I remember watching a bunch of Japanese tourists dump their sample after the first taste; wish I knew what they were saying. Buy some beer to go at the end of your visit... probably as cheap as you will find it anywhere. All in all, a great family business and one of my favorite places in any country. Last thing. I can't say the neighborhood is bad, but it is not the best, so be aware. read more

We had a good time with some yelpers at the Brasserie! The visit is very interesting, you can realize how traditional is the cantillon's know how... Impressive. The place seems also loaded with old and recent history... I did not like the beer itself, it is very special... Also, the "bar tender" was not very friendly... Makes you feel like you are an idiot if you ask a blond beer... Because blond is not a taste... But a color... Ok... Got it... But is the pink beer tasting like the blond one? Nope! So... Is the color linked with the taste? Well... Anyways, I thought the visit worth the trip...! They should just relax a little bit... read more

Cantillon is an amazing brewery and a great experience. My husband is the beer geek but I love sours as well. Let's just say I have been ruined for life regarding sour beers. Cantillon's are incredible and nothing else compares. The self guided tour was awesome...we really enjoyed taking our time and exploring by ourselves. We sampled many beers after the tour was over and went home with six bottles and cool tulip glasses. A definite must if you are in Belgium and you love beer. The walk over from our apartment near Grand Place was interesting. Watch your back and look out for pick pockets, and try not to look lost! read more

No way did I come all the way out here to not give it 5 stars! Not much else to be said. If this place is on your radar, you must be a big time beer connoisseur, or someone that is recommended it to you. Being a big time sour beer fan, this place is the mecca for beer lovers worldwide. I really enjoyed this place because the beers are excellent/cheap, the tour is cool, and you are able to buy cool gifts (shirts, glasses, posters, etc.) I took the tour quickly, popped 2 bottles, and brought home a ton of beer and shirts. Thank you Cantillon. P.S. When I was there on Sept 28, they still had the following bottles available for on site consumption: 50N4E Zwanze 12 Zwanze 13 Gueuze 2008 All Lou Pepe's Fou Foune read more

I spent about 23 hours in Brussels and Cantillon was my first stop. The tour was so enjoyable. Being able to see the behind the scenes of this incredible brewery was such a treat. If you stop by Cantillon and opt to not do the tour, you are doing yourself a huge disservice. After the tour, I enjoyed my two tasters (Kriek and an unblended lambic) and went to order another glass. The price of their world-class beer is incredible, I just stared at the menu. After enjoying my glass of Rose De Gambrinus and taking in just how awesome it was to be in the lambic mecca, I decided to get some bottles to-go. I'm sure they hear this daily from tourists, but it's wild how inexpensive their bottle prices are. I purchased 4-5 bottles and the lady behind the counter probably thought I was crazy based on the grin I had on my face. It was just such a great experience from the moment I entered to when I left. I will absolutely, no doubt in my mind, be back to visit. This time, with more room for bottles and someone to help me enjoy more of their offerings. read more

I had gone here on a tour that ended with a tasting session. Absolutely INCREDIBLE! This ties for my favourite brewery in the entire world. Geuzes and other sour beers can be a bit of an acquired taste, but I've gotta say - I loved them right off the bat. If you are ever able to visit Cantillon, you should definitely take that opportunity. If you're already familiar with (and fond of) the diverse world of Belgian beers, this is the place for you. The history itself is interesting enough. read more

Overrated and rude. Everything was sold out. Spend your time at just about any other lambic or gueze brewery in Belgium, if you're a real beer taster. read more

Get the tour even though it's self guided. Chances are someone from the original family that owns the brewery is giving you initial background information before you go off on your own.
