Brewer/bottler #3562 | | | | | | | | | | Extra info | In 1913, at the eve of World War I, Philemon Vanden Stock started a trade in Gueuze beer. At that point he did not own a brewery but he was mixing 'Lambiek' (old Flemish beer) from different origins. In 1927, the family acquired the Café Belle-Vue at the Paul Janson Avenue in Anderlecht. This Café (beer bar) would later give its name to the brewery. At the end of World War II, Vandenstock was transported by the Germans to a concentration camp and did not return. The company was from then on, led by his son Constant Vanden Stock , also known as chairman of football club RSC Anderlecht . Under his leadership began with the production of sweetened lambic beers.
Growth in the company also came through the acquisition of several competitors in the region: including the Brasseries Unions which was itself a merger of eight companies; De Keersmaeker ( Wolvertem ); Van der Perre ( Schaerbeek ); De Coster ( Brussels ); La Becasse ( Anderlecht ); De Coster ( Grand-Bigard ) and Timmermans ( Sint-Pieters-Leeuw ) and Neve ( Schepdaal ).
In 1991, Belle-Vue became part of Interbrew , now Anheuser-Busch InBev .
Since May 2013, the original building, after renovations, has been used as a permanent hotel and run by Meininger Hotels. |
