History
Brasserie Louis & Emile De Coster was founded by the brothers Louis & Emile De Coster in 1892, in the Molenbeek area of Brussels. It was also known as "Brasserie Le Cornet Du Poste". It is believed that De Coster was the first to add saccharine to lambic to mask overly acetic or sour qualities. It closed in 1966 after being acquired by Belle-Vue. The brewery at Quai du Hainaut 39-51 was later used as the headquarters for Belle-Vue, brewing there until 1992, and active until 1996. In 2016, the former buildings were repurposed into an art museum and hotel. 1 2
