|
| And from the other side. | Bier Central – a stone’s throw from the station. | |
 |
 |
|
| Inside Bier Central. | Also inside Bier Central. | |

 |
 |
|

The Cantillon Brewery – Friday 03 July 2015
 |
 |
|
| Where the magic takes place. | ||
 |
 |
|
| The tasting area. | Quality merch. | |
 |
 |
|
| Just walk this way. | Bottles. | |
 |
 |
|
| The mash tun. | The boiler, one of two. | |
 |
 |
|
| Where the wide yeast flies in. | And the fermentation happens. | |
 |
 |
|
| Filtering. | And here the fruits are added. | |
 |
 |
|
| Bottles. | Raw Lambic |
