→History
While the brewery did not survive the initial collapse of the lambic industry, the Eylenbosch family continued to operate the farm, raising livestock, growing grains and fruits, and managing a dairy on-site. In 2019, Senne Eylenbosch converted part of his grandparents' farm into a geuzestekerij (lambic blendery) and began to lay the groundwork for the revival of the Eylenbosch (Huizingen) beers. He previously worked at [[Brouwerij_3_Fonteinen|Brouwerij 3 Fonteinen]]. Despite sharing the same last name, there's no recent family history with [[Brasserie_Eylenbosch|Eylenbosch Schepdaal]] because there's a 9 generation difference.
In June of 2021, the blendery announced a new range of fruited lambics that marked the first release of an Eylenbosch (Huizingen) lambic in over 50 years. The first batch of fruited lambics were sold in a pack of 6 bottles at the farm mid June 2021. In 2022, the first Oude Geuze blends should also be ready for release. In the near future, the ambition is to brew lambic at the farm again, to make the revival of the family's legacy complete.
