History
Moriau was a lambic blendery founded by Johannes Moriau in 1880, in Sint-Pieters-Leeuw, Belgium. Johannes' son Leopold took over the business from 1920 until 1956, then it was passed to his sons Jan and Pierre. Officially it closed in 1983, but was still operated sporadically until 1993 by 4th generation blender Jos Moriau, Jan's son. It stopped because they could no longer source De Neve lambic for blending [1]. The family café Herberg Moriau was founded in 1943, and closed in 2013 after 70 years in business. They were known for serving their own blended Kriek with cherries from the local market in Sint-Truiden. [2] Moriau Geuze is still produced by Frank Boon, and previously by De Neve, presumably until the brewery closed in 1994. It is still the house geuze at In de Oude Smis van Mekingen in Sint-Pieters-Leeuw. [3] [4] [5] [6]
