Brasserie Épargne
History
Founded 1829 in Brussels at rue de l'Epargne 1 by A. Vandenbruggen. In the 1860's, the brewers were Jacques Vandenbruggen, J.M. Vandenbruggen, and J. J. Vandenbruggen. The brewery site pre-dates Hérinckx-Duchesne (1866), Herinckx-Toussaint (1908), and Toussaint Freres (1922). Eventually it was acquired by Brasseries Unies, which was later taken over by Belle-Vue and closed in 1969. [1]
