History

Brouwerij Mosselmans was a lambic blender that produced Gueuze and Kriek.

It was founded in the first half of the 20th century by Joannes-Baptista (J.B) Mosselmans (1906-1968). An early photo advertises the name "J.B. Mosselmans-Algoets", which may reflect an early business partner, or a possible connection to the brewer Algoet in nearby Alsemberg. Later the name J. Mosselmans-Onnockx was used, reflecting the marriage between J.B Mosselmans and Maria Onnockx. The last known proprietor was Guillaume Mosselmans, when the brewery closed in 1976.

It was located in the city center at Alsembergsesteenweg 618, with a café, brewer's house, and adjacent warehouse. The warehouse building has been converted to lofts, and the adjacent corner café is currently a Carrefour Express store.
