== Overview ==

Cantillon is the only traditional lambic brewery located within the city of Brussels. Founded in 1900, today Cantillon operates both as a brewery and as a living museum, the [[Brussels Gueuze Museum|Brussels Gueuze Museum (Musée bruxellois de la gueuze)]]. Cantillon uses 100% organic grains and hops in all of its beers. Cantillon brews traditional lambic products, using 65% malted barley and 35% unmalted wheat. ~~Cantillon's~~ beers are spontaneously fermented using a large coolship in the attic of the brewery and fermented in oak barrels. ~~The brewery's flagship products, which are discussed further below, include:~~ [[File:BrasserieCantillon-18.jpg|thumb|right|Wall of Gueuze at Cantillon]]

== History ==

Line 35:

Line 34:

To keep the brewery afloat, Van Roy sweetened his gueuze with artificial sweeteners to keep up with current tastes. Sadly, this did not help the brewery and it continued to operate at a loss. By 1975, Jean-Pierre began to abandon the artificial sweeteners and stopped the practice altogether by 1978. In 1978, he also decided to create a working exhibit dedicated to the art of lambic brewing. Opening Cantillon to the public allowed the brewery to bring some extra revenue to help balance the books. It also helped to spread the word to both locals and to tourists.<ref name=GeuzeKriek></ref>

Sales began to increase. In 1986, Cantillon began exporting to the United States.<ref name=~~LambicInfoConvo~~>Lambic.Info Interview with Jean Van Roy and Jean Pierre Van Roy, May 2015</ref> Jean-Pierre continued to take steps to increase quality control, including discontinuing sales to stores that stored the beer upright. Storing the bottles upright caused the cork to dry out and let all the carbonation out. Jean-Pierre eventually brought his son, Jean, into the business in 1989. Like his father, who had no formal brewing experience before working at the brewery, Jean Van Roy learned lambic on the job.[[File:BrasserieCantillon-9.jpg|thumb|right|Brewery signage, translated: "''Time does not respect what is done without it.''"]]

In the years since 1992, the brewery has continued to flourish as one of the most sought-after producers of traditional lambic in Belgium. Though still involved in the brewery, the elder Van Roy brewed his last official batch in 2009. Jean Van Roy, who spent a full twenty years working beside his father, now directs the brewery’s operations after having officially taken over in 2003. Unlike his father before him, who was rooted in the strictest tradition, Jean Van Roy has grown to experiment with a number of small batch lambics and fruits not native to Belgium, like Finnish red currants and Danish bilberries. As of now, the future of the brewery seems to be quite stable with no less than seven grandsons of Jean-Pierre and Claude ready to carry on the Cantillon name.<ref name=“LambicLand”>Tim Webb, Chris Pollard, Siobhan McGinn, [[Books#LambicLand: A Journey Round the Most Unusual Beers in the World|LambicLand: A Journey Round the Most Unusual Beers in the World]], 2010</ref><ref name=GeuzeKriek></ref>

== Underground Cellar ==

In 2011, Jean started a long-term lambic aging process in cooperation with the city of Brussels. The city is providing the underground cellaring space free of charge where Cantillon plans to eventually age 60,000 - 80,000 bottles in long-term storage over twenty years. He plans to focus primarily on aging Gueuze, Bruocsella Grand Cru, and Lou Pepe Kriek, but will also incorporate smaller aging initiatives with other Cantillon beers <ref name=~~LambicInfoConvo~~>Lambic.Info Interview with Jean Van Roy and Jean Pierre Van Roy, May 2015</ref>

Cantillon follows traditional [[Brewing Lambic|lambic brewing]] processes, with the following notable facts:

* Until 1990, Cantillon used a foeder for blending. Since then however, fruit additions and lambic blending is done in stainless tanks to allow for larger, more consistent blends and ease of blending and cleaning.<ref name=~~LambicInfoConvo~~>Lambic.Info Interview with Jean Van Roy and Jean-Pierre Van Roy, May 2015</ref>

* The fruit is flash frozen, allowing the beers to be brewed throughout the season using consistent fruit. Previously, because fresh fruit drove the brewing process, Cantillon would potentially have to use older or younger lambic to time the process around the fruit harvest.

Since 2008, Cantillon has released a special beer known as Zwanze. The beer is usually experimental in nature and may or may not be brewed again. Since 2011, there has been a coordinated celebration around the world to introduce the newest iteration of Zwanze.

Beginning in 2024, Zwanze will be celebrated every other year, alternating with Quintessence.

==Zwanzer's Club==

In early 2021, Cantillon started a club called the Zwanzer's Club. Members were selected among friends of the brewery (many of them being long time members of the [[Brussels_Gueuze_Museum|Brussels Gueuze Museum]]) in gratitude for their support over the years. Members were allowed to purchase an allotment of special bottles (more limited and usually dedicated to be opened on-site at the brewery's taproom) for takeaway, about once a year or so. With acceptance of this membership, one agreed that they would only purchase what they would drink themselves~~. No further memberships are accepted at this point in time~~. This is to avoid ~~people~~ reselling these special bottles on the secondary market at a premium, ~~and also due to~~ the limited amount of bottles available.

+Since 2008, Cantillon has released a special beer known as Zwanze. The beer is usually experimental in nature and may or may not be brewed again.  Since 2011, there has been a coordinated celebration around the world to introduce the newest iteration of Zwanze.
 Beginning in 2024, Zwanze will be celebrated every other year, alternating with Quintessence.

 ==Zwanzer's Club==
-In early 2021, Cantillon started a club called the Zwanzer's Club. Members were selected among friends of the brewery (many of them being long time members of the [[Brussels_Gueuze_Museum|Brussels Gueuze Museum]]) in gratitude for their support over the years. Members were allowed to purchase an allotment of special bottles (more limited and usually dedicated to be opened on-site at the brewery's taproom) for takeaway, about once a year or so. With acceptance of this membership, one agreed that they would only purchase what they would drink themselves. No further memberships are accepted at this point in time. This is to avoid people reselling these special bottles on the secondary market at a premium, and also due to the limited amount of bottles available.
