Founded in 1905 in Uccle-Calevoet as Brasserie de la Fontaine by the Van Haelen brothers, later named Brasserie Van Haelen-Coche in 1911. A brewery site since 1899, originally named Brasserie de l’Ange. Finally acquired by Brabrux in 1968. 1

Located at Alsembergsesteenweg 991-993
In the Uccle town archives, there is a building permit (AP 2460) of a certain Van Haelen who wished to build a brewery along the route Brussels-Lille. These two documents make us suspect that Van Haelen, a pub owner and innkeeper (at the future site of the brewery Merlo Merlink), between 1866-1898 moved from the Stallestraat to the Alsembergsesteenweg into their own new private brewery. The specialty of this brewery was Gueuze and Kriekenlambic in bottles. Around the turn of the century they also brewed Lambic, Faro, Bruin Tafelbier, and Mars.
In early 1902, E. Van Haelen-Coche had permission to construct a beer depot in the back garden of his brewery located on the Alsembergsesteenweg 615 (later 991). The brewery was then called "Brasserie del'Ange". Van Haelen-Coche Brewery disappeared between 1963 and 1970 (1968, ed.). By 1970, the brewery buildings were sold to an industrial bakery. [1]
