Brasserie Les Trois Coupes
History
Brasserie Les Trois Coupes was founded by the Systermans brothers in Saint-Gilles. The brewery was active as early as 1873, and specialized in Lambic, Faro and various Tafelbiers. It was located at Saint Gery 10, next to Brasserie De Ster (The Star), across from Depage (Almanach du Commerce 1873). Between 1875 and 1876 they moved the brewery to Saint-Gilles, rue de France 7 (Tableau nominatif 1876). The Systermans brothers brewed here until 1887-1892. A silver medal was won in Amsterdam in 1883. [1] In 1892, the widow of J. Systermans ran the brewery and continued until 1899 (Annuaire du Commerce, 1892-1897). In 1899, the brewery was taken over by De Coster-Heymans, who had previously brewed at the former Drij Roskammen brewery. [2] [3] [4]
