Founded in the the municipality of Beersel, Belgium in the 1880s, Brouwerij Drie Fonteinen began its existence as a cafe and geuzestekerij, a place where young and old lambics acquired from other breweries are blended together to produce gauze. This changed in 1953, when the establishment was purchased from the mayor of Beersel, Jean-Baptiste Denaeyer, by Gaston Debelder. Upon his retirement in 1982, the enterprise was then left to his two sons Guido and Armand, who continue to run it to this day.
