THE DUTCH TEAM WON AT THE WORLD CUP OF BEER SOMMELIERS
For everyone who is interested, you can watch the finale via:
Like every person born in the 60s, 70s and 80s in the Netherlands I grew up in the beer wastelands. It was a time where pils was synonym to beer. Needless to say I didn’t begin my alcoholic adventures with beer, but I got there eventually and I even decided to study beer. Now I’m an international biersommelier and the runner-up of the Dutch Cup of 2024! Which means I will be going to the World Cup in 2025. You can read more about me here.
I love to organise beer talks, beer walks, beer games and other beer activities in Dutch (Nederlands) and English and I could organise something for you as well.
I also love to travel around for beer and research the subject more. Even though the blog part of this page is mostly on hold for now, you can still find previous adventures in my blog. And only the blog part is on hold, I am still active with all kind of beer related activities.
I’m from Eindhoven, so of course there’s a dedicated page to Eindhoven.
