I told you about the Dutch championships, well, a week ago I was at the world championships Biersommelier! Dennis Kort, Pepijn van der Waa and Hubert Hecker were the Dutch delegation and Maurus, Uwe, Frans and I joined them as their cheerleaders.
A side story on the world cup. During the championships we visited Florence and Bologna as well
As of last week we are with almost 250 certified biersommeliers in the Netherlands. A week ago Tastewise and I guided a group of biersommeliers through beery Eindhoven.
I'm writing about so many other cultures, I should write something about Dutch beer culture as well, and don't make the mistake that it doesn't exist, it does :) It's…
As soon as I heard that I passed the level 1 exams I signed up for level 2. Level 2 consists of 12 (actually 13) detailed lessons about everything you can imagine beer related, but like every course in the end you have just scratched the surface.
I have a library full of games. Naturally I have several games about beer and once in a post I'd like to tell more about one of them. Again a very travel sized game this post: Hip Hops (also known as Brews of the World).
This post is way overdue, but Eindhoven is my home town, and certainly needs to be here. Besides, Eindhoven has such an interesting beer history!
Burton-on-Trent is historically speaking a very important beer city and it is mainly known for this extensive brewing history, with its height around the 18th and 19th centuries.
This is in Dutch, because the podcast is in Dutch. Zoals eerder gezegd zou ik nog met Kleine Boodschap een podcast opnemen over de Eftelingbieren. Bij dezen!
Did you know that how you handle your bought beers affects the taste, fragrance and quality of the beer almost as much as the brewing process itself?
