De Kip brewery was established in May 2014 by Jos Huijgens from Ossenisse in Zeeuws-Vlaanderen. Jos started in 1992 in his then hometown Bergen op Zoom as a hobby brewer. In 2004 he built a small hobby brewery in the barn at his current home in Ossenisse. In 2015 he ended up at 't Hofbrouwerijke in Beerzel, where, under the watchful eye of the brewmaster, he was able to brew his own beer. And because this brewery indicated that it was going to expand, Jos decided to take over the installation of 't Hofbrouwerijke and to place it in Ossenisse. The installation is now operational, and Jos now brews 10 hl of beer per brewing day. The lager capacity has gone from 850 liters to 5000 liters, so it is now a real brewery.
