==History==
Founded in 1873 by the Maeck brothers, and later taken over by Ch. Crétens-Maeck in 1887 until 1902. Originally located at rue Haute 161-163, the brewery moved to rue Sterckx 9-11 in 1899. This was the former site of Vander Elst Bruyn, which itself had moved to Merlo in Uccle. <ref name=Quintens> Bier et Brouweriijen te Brussel, Patricia Quintens, AMVB, 1996 (Annuaire du Commerce 1899-1902).</ref>

The brewery produced Faro, Gueuze Lambic Extra, and Lambic, and also advertised Vieux Lambic for blending. It presented lambic at the World's Fair 1894, in Antwerp and won a gold medal at the Brussels International Exhibition, 1897. <ref name=Guy>Lambic Breweries of Brussels, Th.

Prior to this, from 1833-1873 the brewery was named "La Ville De Namur" and was founded by the brothers Henri and Josse Grimberghs. In addition to a brewery, the site was also an oak and chicory factory <ref name=Quintens2>Bier et Brouweriijen te Brussel, Patricia Quintens, AMVB, 1996 (Tableau nominatif 1833, Almanach du Commerce 1873).</ref>
