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, and was located at 58 Sergeant De Bruynestraat. Edouard Limbourg had a brother Nestor, who also was a lambic blender in Gaasbeek (Lennik) along with his son, Maurice.
Edgard Limbourg 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 near their brewery for a planned expansion project.
