Take a break in Brussels, the capital of Belgium, a country that produces over 400 types of beer, and stay in a Bed & Breakfast. Don't miss the Belgian Brewers’ Museum: located on the most beautiful square in the world. See today’s high-technology brewing methods in sound and image, and learn about the history of brewing from the18th century onwards. Then sample a glass of Belgian beer in the gorgeous Brewers’ House which dates back to1695. Visit the Cantillon Brewery: the last-surviving family-run brewery in Brussels, a veritable living museum of Gueuze, Kriek and many other spontaneously-fermented beers made on the premises, where little has changed for centuries. Beer tasting at the end of the visit.

CANTILLON BREWERY - BRUSSELS GUEUZE MUSEUM (ANDERLECHT) © OPT / Bernard Boccara The Cantillon Brewery has just celebrated its one-hundredth anniversary and remains the only active brewery in Brussels which is open to the public. In order to achieve its aim of preserving the name and reputation of the lambic as well as some other beers from the same family, the brewery decided, in 1978, to open its facilities to the public and to become the Brussels Gueuze Museum. 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. more Address: Rue Gheude 56 1070 ANDERLECHT Tel.+32 (0) 2 521 49 28
