The copper kettles in the brewery were seized during WWI, and iron kettles were then installed. It is believed that the brewery was renamed Brasserie Hygiëna at this time to emphasize the purity of the brewery, but there are earlier references to this name. In 1919, brewery ownership was under Réne Troch, and the brewery closed in 1927 after the economic crisis. The brewery and warehouse buildings were sold to [[Brasserie_R._De_Vits|Jozef De Vits,]] a local tavern owner and gueuze-blender. His son [[Brasserie_R._De_Vits|Réne De Vits]] continued the family lambic blendery from 1937 until 1978, then eventually sold the brewery to [[Brouwerij_Boon|Frank Boon,]] who still owns it and uses it to store Mariage Parfait.
