End 19de centuries, in 1897, bought certain Arthur Van den Bossche a plot ground to the beautiful rural square in Sint-Lievens-Esse. Then he could not yet suspect that he the founder would become of large brouwersfamilie. Arthur Van den Bossche had married with for the of the family Callebaut from Wieze. Now this family has been in the first place confessed because of chocolate; in former days she made name and faam as brouwersgeslacht. The family Callebaut had both a brewery and chocolaterie and in contrast to what one would suspect, were the production of beer more important than the production of chocolate. More still, by the beer could keep the chocolaterie the head above water.
Arthur wanted start to the example of its family also with to brew. For this reason he let build a brewery on its piece ground beside a large lord house also. Thus it came that more than 100 years suffered for the first time beer Sint-Lievens-Esse flowed from the mash tubs in.
