Beer has been brewed in the De Keersmaeker brewery since 1721, although the brewery was then called "De Hert" and - how could it be otherwise - Hert ale flowed from the tap. In the middle of the 18th century, the brewery became the property of the Bastaerts family, whose daughter married brother De Keersmaeker from Hamme. Their descendants remained active as brewers and from here they sent the gueuze and lambic "Mort Subite" into the world. Since 1989, the brewery has been bound to the Alken-Maesgroep by a cooperation agreement.
You can enjoy this delicious beer in the 18th-century inn "in't Wit Paard".

The first mention of this farm brewery dates from 1604 and the first mentioned brewer was Joris Van Der Hasselt in 1686. Generations later, in 1869, Felix Jan De Keersmaeker (1840-1912) took over the brewery from Jan Baptist Bastaerts (1787- 1869).

His son Hubert De Keersmaeker (1896-1945) - mayor of Kobbegem - brought the top-fermented beer Hert Ale on the market during the interwar years, followed in the 1950s by the bottom-fermented Kob Pils. The company was then owned by brothers André and Paul De Keersmaeker, who later became State Secretary in the Belgian federal government.
In 1970, De Keersmaeker took over À la Mort Subite, a well-known Brussels café with gueuze brewery, from the Vossen brothers. The name Mort Subite comes from the dice game pietjesbak. The loser of this game is called a "dead". When time was short, an abbreviated version was played: the "Mort Subite". This game became established in Vossen's café, after which it was decided to give the café that name as well.[1]

Since the takeover, lambic, gueuze and fruit beers have been the main products in the range, under the name Mort Subite. In 1989, the Eylenbosch brewery from Schepdaal was also taken over.

When the De Keersmaeker brothers sold their shares to the Alken-Maes group, it became the new owner. Since 2008, this brewery group has in turn been part of the Dutch Heineken.
Mort Subite was and still is a member of the High Council for Artisan Lambic Beers (HORAL)
