Testimonials
Maarten hosted a group of my colleagues and friends through his session on “India Pale Ales”. It was a very thoughtful and nicely crafted tasting, taking us through both the history and different regions of this style of beers. He selected samples of what would be the most representative of the particular variety, diving as deeply into the context as people were interested in. I highly recommend to also take the Cheese pairing!
It was such a pleasure working with Maarten, he really understood what I was trying to do and brought exactly the kind of beers I was looking for (We are a vegan sushi restaurant – so of course only vegan drinks but more alternative beers) His extensive knowledge and well-informed opinion was very valuable when setting our beer menu. If you haven’t done a pairing with Maarten yet, I would strongly recommend it. It was a fun and informative evening.
