==History==
Founded in 1873 by the Maeck brothers in Brussels, and later taken over by Charles Crétens-Maeck in 1887 until 1902. Originally located at rue Haute 161-163, the brewery moved to rue Sterckx 9-11 in 1899. This was the former site of Vander Elst Bruyn, which itself had moved to the former site of Merlo in Uccle. <ref name=Quintens> Bier et Brouweriijen te Brussel, Patricia Quintens, AMVB, 1996 (Annuaire du Commerce 1899-1902).</ref><ref name=BxlAlmanac> [https://archives.brussels.be/almanach/watch/AC/AC_1899/AC_1899_PROFESSIONS%20BEROEPEN#page/28 Brussels Almanac, 1899, page 783.]</ref>
