Changes

Van Haelen Frères operated their brewery in Uccle-Calevoet (Beersel) from 1902 until 1967. Dominique and Frans Van Haelen were brothers, and sons of Pauline Lardinoy from her first marriage to Auguste Van Haelen, of a well known brewing family in Uccle. The two brothers took over the Fontaine brewery ('t Fonteintje), run by their parents J.B. Michiels and Pauline Lardinoy. Dominique was the brewer and Frans handled business matters. Van Haelen Frères produced Gueuze, Kriek, and Lambic, also supplying wort to local blenders such as Theo Hanssens of [[Hanssens Artisanaal bvba | Hanssens Artisanaal bvba]] and [[West_Flanders#Brouwerij_Van_Honsebrouck|Luc Vanhonsebrouck]] further abroad in Inglemunster. His St. Louis products debuted in 1958, using barrels inoculated with Van Haelen Freres lambic wort. Today the former brewery site is a Delhaize supermarket. The tram stop in Calevoet near the former brewery site is named Van Haelen in honor of the former lambic brewery and local heritage.<ref name=GeuzeKriek>[[Books#Geuze_.26_Kriek:_The_Secret_of_Lambic_Beer|''Geuze & Kriek: The Secret of Lambic Beer'']] Van den Steen, p. 169</ref>
