<br><br>Jean-Pierre Van Roy's description of the history of Cuvée J.F. Vonck in the June 2015 Grummelinkske newsletter reads as follows (translated freely from Dutch to English):

<br><br>"In January of 1992, the Cercle d'Histoire de Bruxelles (History Society of Brussels) invited me at the Espace Jacqmotte in the Hoogstraat to deliver a presentation on 'Geuze, a miracle from Brussels'. After the speech, a man walked up to me. He was called mister Maskens, chief coordinator of the anniversary celebrations for Jan-Frans Vonck. One thing you should know is that Vonck's life was heavily involved with the Brabant Revolution of 1789-1790, which had as a purpose to create an independent Belgian state with three solid principles: freedom, justice and democracy.
