CANTILLON BREWERY

BRUSSELS, BELGIUM - DEC-30-2010 - Jean Van Roy, the fourth generation owner of the Brasserie Cantillon, right, stands underneath portraits of his predecessors, his father, grandfather and great grandfather, as he explains the Lambic brewing process to visitors. The Brasserie Cantillon is a working brewery and museum of Belgian beer history. Cantillon specialises in a unique, wine-like style of beer called Lambic in its most elemental form, and Gueze when it’s blended. The sour beer gets its funky, acidic bite from a spontaneous fermentation process and long aging that inoculates the wort, or pre-beer, with bacteria and yeast naturally available in the air. Variations include batches aged with cherries (Kriek), raspberries (Rose de Gambrinus), and apricots (Fou’Foune), all produced organically and all 100 percent Lambic. (Photo © Jock Fistick)
