←List of Closed Lambic Breweries and Blenders
History
Brouwerij Eylenbosch existed from 1895-1965, and produced gueuze and lambic. It was located in Huizingen at Sollenberg 7-15.
Previously the Cammaert brewery existed here from 1864-1895. Cammaert's great-granddaughter Anna Maria married Martinus Josephus Eylenbosch in 1874, and he later took over brewery operations from Joannes-Baptista Wynants-Cammaert in 1895. Eylenbosch passed away in 1922, leaving the brewery to his sons Jan-Baptist and Georges.
In 1948, the brewery transferred ownership again to Jan-Baptist's son Henri when Jan-Baptist passed away that year. During this time, the brewery was modernized, and Gueuze was packaged in 25cl bottles with crown caps. Production continued until 1965. The buildings were converted to residential lofts in 2006-2008 by Steven Winderickx, son of lambic brewer Edgar Winderickx. Source: Brouwerijen en Bierstekerijen en Beersel. Delplancq, p. 292.
