==History==

The history of the café Mort Subite is just as complicated as that of [[Brasserie_Mort_Subite|~~Brasserite~~ Mort Subite]]. The café certainly came first, having started operations in 1928. The café originally blended their own lambics. After Theophile, his grandchildren René and Jean-Pierre Vossen continued on with the family business.

The café originally blended their own lambics from various producers in the area. After Theophile, his grandchildren René and Jean-Pierre Vossen continued on with the family business.

With ~~regards~~ to the Mort Subite beers,which are still served at the café, Van den Steen notes that, “the Mort Subite named appeared in 1970, when a well-known Brussels café and geuze blending business, A la Mort Subite, was taken over from the Vossen brothers”. Eventually, [[Brasserie De Keersmaeker|De Keersmaeker]] took over the Mort Subite beer name and their popular Geuze Den Hert became Geuze Mort Subite.<ref name=GeuzeKriek>Jef Van den Steen, [[Books#Geuze & Kriek: The Secret of Lambic Beer|Geuze & Kriek: The Secret of Lambic Beer]], 2012</ref>
