History
Founded in 1892 by Jean Charles De Vleminck & Fils in Strombeek-Bever, Belgium. It was active under the name "Brouwerij du Drij Pikkel S.A." from 1904 until 1955, when the brewery closed due to outstanding debts. It produced Faro, Gueuze, Gueuze Lambic, Kriek, and Krieken Lambic. [1] Located at Boechoutlaan 245, the site originally dated to 1820 as an inn, brewery and cooperage farm.
The brewery name "Drie/Dry Pikkel" refers to a 3-legged stool (a driepikkel), which symbolizes 3 adjacent municipalities in Flemish Brabant: Strombeek-Bever, Meise, and Wemmel.
Later in the 20th century, part of the brewery was converted into a tavern, which operated until the early 1970's. After the brewery closed in 1955, a dairy was located in the former brewery buildings while the tavern was in operation. In 1978, the entire brewery complex was bought by a wine wholesaler, H. Roscam, who performed a full restoration of the buildings, which are still in use today as a residence and for wine storage.[2] [3]
