Changes

Van Haelen Frères operated their brewery in 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, from 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, which was previously a brewery site dating back to 1751. Dominique Van Haelen (1902-1957) was the brewer and Frans Van Haelen (1872-1939) handled business matters. Van Haelen Frères produced Gueuze, Kriek, and Lambic, also supplying wort to local blenders such as Gaston Debelder of [[Brouwerij_3_Fonteinen|Drie Fonteinen,]] Theo Hanssens of [[Hanssens Artisanaal bvba | Hanssens Artisanaal bvba,]] and [[West_Flanders#Brouwerij_Van_Honsebrouck|Luc Vanhonsebrouck]] further abroad in Inglemunster. After demolition of the Van Haelen brewery in the 1971, it later became the site of 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.
