==History==
Founded in Lembeek by Auguste Cantillon in 1894. Cantillon purchased the Vandezande-Van Roy brewery, located in Lembeek’s Hondzocht district. His sons Emile and Paul Cantillon worked there, and Paul left in 1900 with Marie Troch 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, when production likely ended. Wort was also sourced by Paul Cantillon from [[Brasserie_Hygiëna|Pierre Troch]], Marie Troch's father. In 19381937, Paul Cantillon's sons Marcel and Robert began brewing their own lambic in 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. pp. 68]]</ref> <ref name=Delplancq1>[[Les_Brasseurs_du_Lambic:_Données_Historiques_et_Géographiques.|Delplancq, Thierry.
