History

Founded in 1873 by the Maeck brothers, and later taken over by Ch. Crétens-Maeck in 1887 until 1902. Originally located at rue Haute 161-163, the brewery moved to rue Sterckx 9-11 in 1899. This was the former site of Vander Elst Bruyn, which itself had moved to Merlo in Uccle. [1]

The brewery produced Faro, Gueuze Lambic Extra, and Lambic, and also advertised Vieux Lambic for blending. It presented lambic at the World's Fair 1894, in Antwerp and won a gold medal at the Brussels International Exhibition, 1897. [2]

Prior to this, from 1833-1873 the brewery was named "La Ville De Namur" and was founded by the brothers Henri and Josse Grimberghs. In addition to a brewery, the site was also an oak and chicory factory [3]
