== History ==

Belgor was founded in 1806 in Brussegem by Gustave De Keersmaeker. In the mid-19th century, Carolus De Keersmaeker (1831-1880) was the brewer, and also the mayor of Brussegem. Carolus was the son of Francis De Keersmaeker, mayor of Hamme. His son Jan de Keersmaeker (1867-1920) took over the brewing business from Carolus, and was also mayor of Brussegem (1885-1920). Jan was in turn followed by Henri-Leon De Keersmaecker (1909-1942) as brewer. After that, the family De Keersmaeker (note without the "C") continued ownership.

Acquired by De Keersmaeker (Kobbegem) under Mort-Subite in 1971, [http://www.biernet.nl/bier/brouwerijen/belgie/vlaams-brabant/brussegem/belgor-de-keersmaeker 1]  Belgor continued as a brewing site for Mort Subite until the late 1980's. After that, the De Keersmaeker family founded a beer distributor on the site in 1989, which finally closed in 2014. Belgor was known especially for their Lambik, and also produced Gueuze and Kriek.
