What you can offer as a writer/beer lover?
I’ve lived more than 30 years in the Netherlands and am a local expert on the burgeoning Dutch beer and bar scene, and well as on the wider Benelux region. Beyond my own books and features I contributed the Dutch input for Tim Webb and Stephen Beaumont’s Pocket Beer Book. I also write on travel matters and am the author of the Bradt Guide to Luxembourg, now in its 4th edition.
