— no longer brewing at its old place
Belgium Brasserie Vandenheuvel began in the 1840s in the centre of Brussels as Brasserie Saint Michel, and under its director Henri Vandenheuvel it was the first Brussels brewery to make dark Bavarian-style beers. In 1920 its successors moved it to a large site across the canal in Molenbeek, where a stout, a bière de mars, pilsners and Munich-type beers followed; its Ekla Pils was served at Expo 58, even in the Atomium. After taking over some Brussels rivals in the late 1960s it was bought by Watney's of England, which closed it in December 1974 citing poor sales of Ekla; the brewery was largely demolished and apartments now stand on the site. unverified info
