Hopster Craft Beer Magazine 05 Lente 2021

I was asked to write a column in the Dutch craft beer magazine Hopster. For this spring edition I was asked as secretary from the Stichting Erfgoed Nederlandse Biercultuur to put my thoughts on paper about the Dutch craftbeerscene is this roaring period we live in. Off course my roll as beercollector and brewerywatcher in the province Groningen was also one of the aproaches.
Despite of the fact that these are very hard days for breweries, pubowners etc, there is still a lot going on in the dutch beerscene. New ways of meeting the public found there way to the consumers. You can join beertastings from breweries by using Zoom or Skype and get beers form all over the Netherlands deliverd at your front door. My guess is that this stays normal as an extra way to enjoy your beers for a long time.
It's only in dutch, just try to read it. :-)
