Brasserie Épargne
History
Founded 1829 in Brussels by A. Vandenbruggen at rue de l'Epargne 1. 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]
