History
Founded in 1876 as "J.B. Herbos VVe. & fils" in Brussels at OLV Van Vaakstraat 79-85. Renamed "Brasserie L'Etoile" in 1893. Between 1904 and 1908, Brasserie L'Etoile was owned by A.J. Vandenkerckhoven. Renamed Vandenkerckhoven in 1940. Offices were located at Boulevard Barthelemy 39.
In 1948 the brewery merged with De Coster-Heymans, officially becoming Vandenkerckhoven-De Coster-Heymans. Previously De Coster-Heymans had been a subdivision of Vandenkerckhoven since 1932. Finally the brewery merged with Brasseries Unies in 1963, which was acquired by Belle-Vue and closed in 1969.
Kriekenlambic, Gueuze, and Lambic were brewed according to traditional methods. The brewery itself performed all phases of the brewing process: from grinding grain with a millstone (very rare in a brewery), barreling, and bottling of the beer. The millstone remained in the building until 1975.

They were given food at the brewery, and at the end of the week they received a 20 liter oak cask of beer to take home.
