The official revival date of the Eylenbosch brewery is 1 February, 2018. By that point, owner Erik de Keersmaeker, and brewer Klaas Vanderpooten, a bioengineer by training, had partnered up to begin breathing new life into the old name.
The De Keersmaeker name is a familiar one in the lambic world, particularly in the town of Kobbegem. In 1869, [[Brasserie_De_Keersmaeker|Brasserie De Keersmaeker]] was established on an existing brewery site, operating since 1604. The original De Keersmaeker brewery was also known as "Den Hert", or "The Deer", a familiar symbol in the new Eylenbosch lineup. The family history in brewing is also surrounded by older acquisitions, mergers, and brands including [[Brasserie_Brabrux|Brasserie Brabux]], including [[Brasserie_Vandenperre|Vanderperre]], Taymans, Ch. & R. De Keersmaecker, [[Brasserie_Belle_Vue|Belle Vue]], and [[Brasserie_De_Neve|De Neve]]. During the interwar period and immediate postwar era, the De Keersmaeker name was known for brewing a variety of popular standard Belgian styles.
