Cantillon Brewery (Brasserie-Brouwerij Cantillon) is a small Belgian traditional family brewery based in Brussels and founded in 1900. Although it has been managed by the Van Roy family after the last Cantillon left it to his son-in-law Jean-Pierre Van Roy, the name Cantillon has been kept.
It brews lambic beers like kriek and gueuze in the traditional style, unchanged since it was founded. It is the last lambic brewery in Brussels. More recently it started making Iris, a spontaneously fermented beer that, unusually, does not contain wheat and is made with fresh hops, and as a result is thus technically not a lambic.
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.
The brewery is located in the municipality of Anderlecht.
