Tucked away on a cobblestone side street in Anderlecht, Brussels, Cantillon uses only spontaneous fermentation — wild airborne yeasts and bacteria drawn in through open windows do all the work, with no temperature control, no added yeast.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe brewery is a working museum and a time capsule: copper coolships where hot wort is spread overnight to catch the local microflora, cobweb-covered oak casks where the lambic ages for one to three years, and a blending philosophy that values complexity over predictability. Every bottle is a snapshot of a particular season, a particular year, a particular ecosystem.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCantillon's production is small by necessity — a single coolship, a handful of cold winter nights, and the unpredictable Belgian climate set the limits.
