Remarkably (given that I have been a frequent visitor to Brussels with work for twenty years, sometimes on a weekly basis) this is my first ever visit here. It is crowded and there are queues for tours and queues at the bar. My time is short, so I don’t really do the place justice.
BeerABVScoreNotes
Cantillon - Kriek5.00ExcellentAddition of cherries over a long maturation process rounds off all the roughness of the Lambic. Dry, with sourness rather than sweetness; all the sugar in the cherries being converted to alcohol and no additional sugar or juice added.
Cantillon - Lambic5.00Good15 month-aged, un-blended Lambic straight from the barrel. Amber-coloured and clear. Very dry and a little sour and a bit woody.

Cantillon - Cuvee Saint-Gilloise5.00ExcellentDry hopped with Hallertau
Cantillon - Mamouche5.00ExcellentElderflower. Superb.
Cantillon - Zwanne 20135.00GoodYearly bottled beer with a changing recipe. This one is a beer of beer and lambic.
Cantillon - Fou'Foune5.00GoodApricot. Normally stunning but seemed lacking. May have been overshadowed by the preceding elderflower gueuze.
