You can find all the Westy's in pretty much any good beer shop in Belgium. No need to go all the way to the brewery, although you could if you're into Trappist stuff. It's a bit out of the way, though.

Cantillon is a must stop. You do have to like sours a bit, but Lambic is so interesting that you might find it worthwhile either way. Other than grabbing a waffle, it's really the only worthwhile thing in Brussels. The city sucks. There's a self-guided tour with samples at the end. Zwanze Day is usually in September, so you should check back to see when they announce the date later if you'll be in country then. It's basically "Cantillon Day" around the world, but I have to imagine it would be fun at the brewery.

Other Lambic/sour/saison breweries to check out or try if you see them somewhere:
Drie Fonteinen
Tilquin
Bokkereyder
De Cam
Fantome
Girardin

The best Lambic bars
Moeder Lambic
De Heeren van Liedekercke
In de Verzekering tegen de Grote Dorst

As for Ghent, Dranken Geers is a great bottle shop. Waterhuis and Trollekelder are good places to drink beer.
