Brouwerij De Kat was a craft brewery based in Helmond, a city in the Dutch province of North Brabant. Operating as a stadsbrouwerij — a city brewery — it was one of the smaller independent brewing ventures that emerged in the Netherlands as part of the broader craft beer movement. The brewery was known locally in Helmond before eventually closing its doors, with its founders acknowledging that, while brewing beer is an enjoyable craft, continuing was no longer a viable path forward.
