==History==

Moriau was a lambic blendery founded ~~in 1880,~~ in Sint-Pieters-Leeuw by Johannes Moriau. Moriau originally was a brickmaker, who began working as a brewer at Brouwerij Merlo in Uccle. He was more interested in the beer trade, so he built his own warehouse for a blendery. Johannes' son Leopold later took over the business, from 1920-1956, then it was passed to his sons Jan and Pierre. At the height of production in 1958, Moriau produced 96,000 bottles a month, with the help of 15 seasonal employees. In the early days, lambic was sourced from Van Haelen, Van Lierde, De Neve, and Eylenbosch.<ref name=Wiels>Piet Sierens, Wiels.nl.
