==History==
The history of the café Mort Subite is just as complicated as that of [[Brasserie_Mort_Subite|Brasserite Brasserie Mort Subite]]. The café certainly came first, having started operations in 1928. The café originally blended their own lambics from various producers in the area. After Theophile, his grandchildren René and Jean-Pierre Vossen continued on with the family business.
With regard to the Mort Subite beers, which are still served at the café, Van den Steen notes that “the Mort Subite named appeared in 1970, when a well-known Brussels café and geuze blending business, A la Mort Subite, was taken over from the Vossen brothers”. Eventually, [[Brasserie De Keersmaeker|De Keersmaeker]] took over the Mort Subite beer name and their popular Geuze Den Hert became Geuze Mort Subite.<ref name=GeuzeKriek>Jef Van den Steen, [[Books#Geuze & Kriek: The Secret of Lambic Beer|Geuze & Kriek: The Secret of Lambic Beer]], 2012</ref>
