"Café-Brasserie Limbourg" was located near the blendery at [https://goo.gl/maps/Yya9pB3JXYM24rSb6 rue de Fiennes 9]. It was owned by Edouard Limbourg, where he sold his gueuze, and also a popular destination for local farmers from Lennik before returning home on the nearby tram. Ownership later passed to his widow Caroline Speeckaert, and finally to son Edgard. Edouard’s nephew Paul Limbourg (1906-1988) ran the café from 1945-1968. Paul was the son of lambic blender Nestor Limbourg in Gaasbeek. After his retirement in 1968 to his home village of Gaasbeek, the family café was taken over by Artois Breweries.
