3 Fonteinen is a Belgian brewery, specialized in geuze and kriek. The brewery is situated in Beersel, near Brussels and produces classic versions of both kriek and geuze.
3 Fonteinen was founded in about 1887 as a café and geuzestekerij, which means that geuze was produced by blending old and new lambics acquired from breweries elsewhere. The enterprise was bought by Gaston Debelder in 1953, who expanded it with a restaurant and left it to his sons Armand and Guido in 1982. In 1998, a brewery installation was bought. Apart from using its own lambic, 3 Fonteinen uses lambic made by Boon, Girardin and Lindemans for its geuze. 3 Fonteinen is one of the few remaining geuzestekerijen.
The Mijol Club, a literary club, founded by Herman Teirlinck, used to convene in the café.citation needed
