In 1948 the brewery merged with [[Brasserie De Coster-Heymans | De Coster-Heymans]], officially becoming Vandenkerckhoven-De Coster-Heymans. Previously [[Brasserie De Coster-Heymans | De Coster-Heymans]] had been a subdivision of Vandenkerckhoven since before WWII.
Finally the brewery merged with [[Brasserie Brasseries_Unies|Brasseries Unies]] in 1963, which was acquired by [[Brasserie_Belle_Vue| Belle-Vue]] and closed in 1969.
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.
