==Overview==
Bockor is a producer of spontaneous fermentation beers, that began producing buying lambic wort in 1970 from Heyvaert to compete with the success of Belle-Vue Gueuze in age and package as their own products under the 1950'sJacobins name. By the early 70's Since 1981 they were have been brewing their own lambic-style products, using a koelschip and foeders for agingspontaneously fermented beers.
==History==
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, until the brewery ceased production. After that, Bockor brewed it's own lambic spontaneously fermented beer to produce Jacobins Gueuze.
