Following the initiative of Van Honsebrouck in 1958, Bockor followed suit in 1970 to produce a filtered an sweetened product, Gueuze Lambic Jacobins. The name Jacobins refers to a a famous monastery, the hospice Saint Jacques, built in 1218 to house traveling pilgrims. The connection to Bockor is that the owner during World War I briefly stayed at Rue des Jacobins in Paris, and therefore got the name for his beers. During the French Revolution, revolutionaries met on this street in October 1789 when the government was moved to Paris.
Until 1981, Bockor purchased lambic wort from Heyvaert in Asse, when it until the brewery ceased production. After that, Bockor brewed it's own lambic to produce Jacobins Gueuze.
