Brasserie Cantillon

Brasserie Cantillon is a Belgian traditional family brewery based in Brussels and founded in 1900. It only brews lambic beers, in the traditional style, unchanged since it was founded. It is the last lambic brewery in Brussels

It is also The Gueuze Museum in Brussels, and is open to the public to tour and see the maturing beer, and watch the brewing and bottling processes.

It was threatened to end its activities because of the new European law project on food and drinks which threatened beer made from wild yeasts because of new hygiene regulations.
