Edouard Limbourg was later assisted by his sons Nestor (1905-1984) and Edgard (1903-1992).

Edouard Limbourg had a brother Nestor, who also was a lambic blender in Gaasbeek (Lennik) along with his son, Maurice.  
===The Lambic Cafés===
Edgard Limbourg also ran a café in Anderlecht, named "Café Au Pont de Fer - D'Ijzerbrug", located on Chaussée de Mons. A second café named "Café-Brasserie Limbourg" was located near the blendery at rue de Fiennes 9. It was owned by Edouard Limbourg, and was later owned by his nephew, Paul Limbourg (1906-1988).

Edouard Limbourg had a brother Nestor (1870-1952), who also was a lambic blender in Gaasbeek (Lennik) along with his son, Maurice (1908-1984). This business began in 1902 and stopped sometime in the 1950's and became a beer merchant company that is still active today.
