We joined our friends Troy, Simone and Hrvoje at this brewery for an open brewing day. Cantillon produces a type of beer called "lambic". In general lambic beers are spontaneously fermented with yeast from the atmosphere. Neither Rick nor I are crazy about this style of beer because they tend to be really sour. The open brewery day, which included a guided tour of the brewery and the beer-making process and a tasting of beer at the end, was very interesting though.
Cantillon is a brewery located in Brussels. It was founded in 1900 by the Cantillon family and is one of Brussels' most authentic traditional family breweries that still brews beer using centries-old recipes and methods. Because of that, they can only brew beer a few months out of the year when temperatures are cool enough. They don't rely on modern technology to cool the building.
