History
editSisters Do and Tessel de Heij started brewing beer as a hobby in their kitchen in 2013. This grew into a business and the company was officially founded in 2015.[2] An important motivation behind the sisters' decision to start the company was to break gender stereotypes in the beer world and to make beer more accessible to women, as beer is often culturally more associated with men than women.[3]
After taking second place in the Albert Heijn Product Pitch in 2016, it was sold in all Albert Heijn stores in the Netherlands for a year. As a result, the brand continued to grow.
In 2019, the brewery opened its own bar in Amsterdam after a successful crowdfunding campaign.[4]
