And seeing the cool ship being filled in an attic cloudy with steam was wonderful.

just some of the many many bottles conditioing!

For anyone interested, the next brewday is the first saturday of march 2010, think its the 8th(?).

If you are interested in something a bit different they are having a "promenade degustation" in the brewery on the 24april, 8 different cantillon's matched "with the best daintiness" ( who does these translations??).or what they say in french the beers will be perfectly matched with food, made by an artisanal producer who will explain the beer and food pairing.

As a further aside the new Moeder Lambic was open,actually stumbled across it by accident on the way back from cantillon!Very nice,it's very stylish, contemporary.there's 40beers on tap, 3or4 of which are guest beers.
