Brasserie Moriau
History
Moriau was a lambic blendery founded in 1880 by Johannes Moriau in Sint-Pieters-Leeuw, BE. It closed officially in 1983, but operated sporadically until 1993 after they could no longer source De Neve lambic for blending [1]. The family café Herberg Moriau was founded in 1943, and closed after 70 years in business, in 2013. They were known for serving an exclusive Kriek with cherries from the local market. [2] Moriau Geuze is still produced by Frank Boon, and previously by De Neve, presumably until the brewery closed in 1994. [3] [4]
