Opened in 1978 by Jean Pierre Van Roy, the Brussels Gueuze Museum is run by Cantillon and located in the Brewery. This living museum allows visitors to tour the brewery, viewing current and vintage brewing equipment, historical documents, and traditional lambic beers. The tour itself is self guided, with guide books being available in French or English, which walk visitors through the brewing, barreling, and bottling process. The tour includes samples of a variety of lambic.

==Timmermans Brewery Museum==
'''Address:''' Kerkstraat 11, 1701 Dilbeek
While the Timmermans Brewery gives tours by appointment, they also have a museum at the brewery. As Timmermans has been brewing at that location since 1702, they have gathered a significant collection of historical artifacts related to lambic. Much of the brewing equipment still in use today also dates back 50+ years. The tours are guided and include tastings at the end.
