Brasserie Limbourg (Gaasbeek): Difference between revisions

Nestor Limbourg sold his gueuze in the café next to the blendery, known as “Au Repos de Gaesbeek” in those days, and he also supplied the many cafés and taverns in the local area. He was later assisted by his son Maurice (1908-1984) who ran the lambic blendery until production stopped sometime in the late 1950's. Maurice also was the mayor of Gaasbeek from 1969-1976. In 1934, Nestor’s first son Jean (1904-1961) married the daughter of Victor Valkeneer, a lambic blender in Pepingen. He took over the business of blending lambic from his father-in-law Victor and continued until 1955. After that he became a beer merchant.

Nestor Limbourg had a younger brother Edouard (1877-1940), who was [[Brasserie_Limbourg|a lambic blender in Anderlecht (Brussels)]] along with his sons, Nestor (1905-1984) and Edgard (1903-1992). Their lambic blendery began in 1906 and ended production sometime in the 1960’s.
