History (1886-1991)

Eylenbosch was founded 1886 in Schepdaal, by Emile Eylenbosch (1861-1949) who later became the town mayor. It had been an existing brewery site since 1851, and a new steam brewery was installed in 1894.[1] In 1989, Eylenbosch was acquired by De Keersmaeker which in turn was taken over by Mort Subite (Alken-Maes) in the same year. The Eylenbosch brewery was used as a storage site by Mort Subite until 1991, which allowed them to expand their annual production to 60,000 hectoliters.[2] It was abandoned by Mort Subite after 2001, and was a derelict site popular with urban explorers. 3 In 2018, renovations began to convert the brewery buildings at Ninoofsesteenweg 774-778 into a 55-unit apartment complex. The renovation is projected to be completed in 2021-2022.[3] [4]

21st Century Revival

In 2019, it was announced that the Eylenbosch name would be revived, nearly 30 years after it's closure. The initiative was started by Erik De Keersmaeker, the fifth-generation of the De Keersmaeker lambic brewing family (De Keersmaeker, Mort Subite). Along with partners Jeroen Lettens and Klaas Vanderpoorten, De Keersmaeker intends to source local ingredients, including water from the original spring once used by the Eylenbosch brewery. Brewing has already started at De Troch, and the goal is to produce 1,500 hectoliters. 1 2
