==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 <ref name=JorisP> "A Letter From Belgium", Joris Pattyn article [http://www.ratebeer.com/Beer-News/Article-339.htm] </ref>. 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. <ref name=GeuzeKriek>Jef Van den Steen, [[Books#Geuze & Kriek: The Secret of Lambic Beer|Geuze & Kriek: The Secret of Lambic Beer]], 2012, Page 47</ref> [[Moriau Geuze | Moriau Geuze]] is still produced by [[Brouwerij Boon | Frank Boon]], and previously by [[Brasserie De Neve | De Neve]], presumably until the brewery closed in 1994.
