Brouwerij Lamot

Location:         Mechelen, Belgium

Website:          Lamot Brewery history page on the Lamot conference centre website

The Lamot brewery was founded by Jan Baptist Lamot in 1801. The brewery bounced around the hands of various members of the Lamot family before it was aquired by Bass Charrington in 1970. It was closed as a brewery soon afterwards and then in 1984 the Brasseries Piedboeuf bought the Lamot brewery back from Bass PLC. In an ironic twist after Piedboeuf and Artois had merged to form Interbrew in 1987, this brewery bought out Bass in the year 2000.

The brewery buildings have now been demolished but now house a modern conference centre still bearing the name Lamot.
