Tucked away, 5 minutes walk from the Gare du Midi station in Brussels is the Cantillon Brewery. It is also known as the Gueze Museum. The truth to be know, it is a real life working brewery with a touch of a museum about it. In fact you can turn up at practically anytime, pay €6.00, get a free glass of Cantillon Lambic and then wander around to your heart's content. Your guide is a well written pamphlet in the language of your choice.

Entrance, Kriek & waiting for the Tour.
