==History==
Founded in Lembeek by (Ernest) Auguste Cantillon in 1894. Cantillon purchased the Vandezande-Van Roy brewery, located in Lembeek’s Hondzocht district. His sons Emile and Paul Cantillon worked here, Paul left in 1900 to start a lambic blendery in Anderlecht [[Brasserie_Cantillon|(Cantillon Brewery)]]. His brother Emile remained in Lembeek and supplied lambic to Cantillon for blending until WWI. Later in 1937, when Paul Cantillon's sons Marcel and Robert began brewing their own lambicin Brussels. A brewery known as [[Brasserie_Du_Dragon|"Brasserie du Dragon"]] was also active in Lembeek during this time, research is underway to find any possible connection. <ref name=GeuzeKriek>Jef Van den Steen, [[Books#Geuze & Kriek: The Secret of Lambic Beer|Geuze & Kriek: The Secret of Lambic Beer]], 2012</ref> <ref name=Delplancq1>[[Les_Brasseurs_du_Lambic:_Données_Historiques_et_Géographiques.|Delplancq, Thierry.
