Brasserie Limbourg
History
Founded in Anderlecht by Edouard Limbourg (1877-1940) and his sons Nestor (1905-1984) and Edgard (1903-1992), Limbourg was a lambic blender that produced Gueuze & Kriek. Edouard Limbourg had a brother Nestor, who also was a lambic blender in Gaasbeek (Lennik). Son Edgard also ran a café in Anderlecht, named Café Au Pont de Fer - D'Ijzerbrug, located on Chaussée de Mons. Nestor ran the blendery until it's closure sometime in the 1960's.
In 2014, the Cantillon Brewery purchased the vacant Limbourg building adjacent to their brewery for a planned expansion project.
