Lonely Planet review

Anyone with even a vague interest in Belgian beers must not miss a visit to the excellent Musée Bruxellois de la Gueuze. It's not so much a museum as a self-guided tour through the family-run Cantillon brewery, where the owners still proudly use traditional methods to make their strange lambic beers. After a brief introduction, make your own way around the ancient complex before returning to sample a beer or two.

Seventy years ago, 50 family-run breweries in and around Brussels made lambics. Today Cantillon is Brussels' sole survivor, although a handful of other breweries still operate in Lembeek and Beersel southwest of the capital.
