History

Brasserie/Brouwerij De Neve was founded in 1792, though the brewery site goes back to 1772. In 1975, the brewery was acquired by Belle-Vue under Constant Vandenstock, which was itself later acquired by Interbrew in 1991. Despite public protests led by nonprofit group Objectieve Bierproevers (OBP), the brewery was closed three years later in 1994. [1] After sitting vacant for over 20 years, the brewery site was sold in 2006 and converted into a loft apartment building. [2] In addition to producing Lambic, Gueuze, and Kriek, De Neve also produced "high fermentation" (top-fermented) ales such as Nèval Kadet, Nèval Speciale, and Rodal Bier. [3] The building that formerly housed the brewery was recently refitted as luxury apartments.[4]
