History

Founded by J. De Vleminck & Fils. in Strombeek-Bever, Belgium in 1892. Active under the name "Brouwerij du Drij Pikkel S.A." from 1904 until 1955. Produced Faro, Gueuze, Gueuze Lambic, Kriek, and Krieken Lambic. Located at Boechoutlaan 245. In 1957 part of the brewery is converted into a tavern, which operated until the early 1970's. A time later the entire brewery complex was bought by wine wholesaler H. Roscam, who performed a full restoration of the buildings, which are still in use today.
