Wiel's (sorry, not Weil's) was a brewery (Wielemans-Ceuppens). The building is currently being turned into a contemporary art center in Brussels. Wielemans-Ceuppens apparently went out of business in 1988.
Groene Leeuw was the top-end brand coming out of bicycle manufacturer De Kimpe, which was based in Deinze. I don't have much information other than that, except that in the 1970s, there was also an Avia-Groene Leeuw team.
