From Bier et Brouwerijen te Brussel:
In early 1902, E. Van Haelen-Coche had permission to construct a beer depot in the back garden of his brewery located on the Alsembergsesteenweg 615 (later 991). The brewery was then called "Brasserie del'Ange". Van Haelen-Coche Brewery disappeared between 1963 and 1970 (1968, ed.). By 1970, the brewery buildings were sold to an industrial bakery. <ref name=Quintens> Quintens, Patricia, Bier et Brouwerijen te Brussel, AVMB, 1996, pp. 220. </ref>
From the State Archives of Belgium:
Brasserie-Malterie de la Fontaine was founded in 1751. Bought in the first half of the nineteenth century by Lambert Van Haelen (b. 1808), it remained in the hands of the family for several generations. In 1898, Emile Van Haelen and his wife Henriette Coche, both brewers, had built a brewery and a mansion on the lot they had acquired on chaussée d'Alsemberg.
On October 5th, 1929, their children transformed the family brewery into a limited public company with a capital of 4.5 million francs under the name "Brasserie Van Haelen-Coche (S.A.)". It specialized in the production of lambic and gueuze, and like many breweries of this type, it is not long resisted restructuring of ?? postwar period.
In 1959, the company was put into liquidation as of right because of the expiry of his term ??. On September 23rd, 1960, the Van Haelen family founded a new company with no name change. The brewery was taken over by Brasserie Unies (formerly Brasserie De Boeck) in 1964.
