Four years later, he founded Muifel Brewery there — named after ‘unne Megense duvel’ (a devilish character from Megen dialect). Back then, he brewed as a gypsy brewer at other breweries in the region. Today, Martin works with a team of eight men and women in his own brewery in Oss.
Buzzing activity
It’s Tuesday morning, and the workweek is in full swing — also at Muifel Brewery on the Oss industrial estate. Brewer Nina is busy with a colleague filling bottles of Maashorst Blond. Martin is labeling with another team member. The sounds of the rock band Linkin Park blast through the hall. "When the music is pounding like this, it’s a good sign," Martin says cheerfully. "That means everything is running smoothly."

Brabant beer
Out front, a van from a beverage supplier in the eastern Netherlands pulls up — stopping by to pick up an order from Brabant. Inside the brewery hall, tall pallet racks are stacked with boxes of bottles and cans. Kegs sit on the top shelves — all ready to be delivered to beer lovers, bars, and liquor stores. In front of the racks, Muifel’s extensive assortment is neatly on display. Martin explains: "We brew 25 different beers here and use a lot of ingredients from the region — like rye from Geffen and hops from Wilbertoord. Our Messentrekker beer contains cranberries from Landerij VanTosse in Oss, and our barrel-aged beers mature in whisky barrels from Bus Whisky in Loosbroek. We brew truly Brabant beer here — and we want all of the Netherlands to know it!"
Muifel Brewery can only be visited with an appointment.
