The brewery produces the Cantillon beers (gueuze, kriek, lambic, faro, framboise, Iris). As well as guided tours, brewing sessions in public take place twice a year. This live museum has Jean-Pierre Van Roy as its master brewer who keeps the family tradition alive. They also boast a star in the Michelin Guide.
