HENRI BOELENS
The Germans dismantled the brewery in the beginning of WW I in 1915, but Henry Boelens was allowed to keep his bottling installation. After the war, as many local beer merchants did, beer was bought in tanks from larger breweries, bottled in-house and sold under their own name. The style of beer handled this way was mostly the low alcohol (2 %) table beer, consumed by both young and old. The beer merchant was the supplier of the most important beverage in his area, serving all pubs but also delivering cases of beer door to door on a weekly run.
