Jet van de Griendt, Biersommelier and brewer of Brouwerij St. Joris:
“The Week of the Dutch Beer is an excellent opportunity for us as a catering establishment and brewery, to give extra attention to our beer. And we notice in the region that the interest in the Week is only growing.
Therefore, St. Joris Brewery in Breda is obviously taking part of the Dutch Brewery Days and we organize a nice beertasting. And the extra support we receive from the organization is great too. We are already looking forward to a week full of Dutch beer! ”
