Cantillon Fréres
History
Founded in Lembeek by (Ernest) Auguste Cantillon in 1894. Cantillon purchased the Vandezande-Van Roy brewery, located in Lembeek’s Hondzocht district. His sons Emile and Paul Cantillon worked here, Paul left in 1900 to start a lambic blendery in Anderlecht (Cantillon Brewery). His brother Emile remained in Lembeek and supplied lambic to Cantillon for blending until 1937, when Paul Cantillon's sons Marcel and Robert began brewing their own lambic. A brewery known as Brasserie du Dragon was active in Lembeek during this time, research is underway to find any possible connection. [1] [2]
