Kriekenlambic, Gueuze, and Lambic were brewed according to traditional methods.The brewery itself performed all phases of the brewing process: from grinding grain with a millstone (very rare in a brewery), barreling, and bottling of the beer. The millstone was seen in the building until 1975.
According to a 1914 account from the brewery owner in 1914, the working conditions of for the brewery workers were as follows: The workers generally lived generally in Dilbeek and surroundings and most slept the surrounding area, during the week most slept in the district, or in the brewery itself. They were given food in at the brewery, and at the end of the week they received a 20 liter oak cask of beer to take home. Until 1957 there were about fifty employees , and an annual production at about 8,000 barrels. <ref name=Quintens>Bier en Brouwerijen te Brussel, Patricia Quintens, AVMB, 1996, page 139.</ref>
