Wij gaan ons bezighouden met alles wat er op biergebied in beide landen gebeurt en gaan op zoek naar de overeenkomsten en natuurlijk ook de verschillen. Wij zullen ongetwijfeld af en toe een uitstapje maken naar andere landen of onderwerpen bespreken die niet specifiek een Nederlands-Amerikaanse connectie hebben. Maar altijd zal het gaan over 'BIER'.
Wij hopen jullie hier vaak terug te zien.

Aficionado comes of the Latin word: affectio. The English use affection and the Spanish aficionar. This stands for: positive emotions and feelings. An aficionado is someone who loves, knows a lot of, appreciates and shows great interest in a certain subject. Well, the subject is beer so now you know what you can expect from us.
We are Paul and Jan Ronald. Paul lives in the San Fransisco Bay Area in America and I, Jan Ronald, live in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. We are both Dutch guys and beer enthusiasts. We know each other through a common friend on Facebook. She thought that we might share the same interests and she was right about that. We have regular contact on Facebook and when Paul visited family in the Netherlands, we met in Amsterdam and had a couple of beers together. After this meeting, the idea had risen to write a bilingual beer-blog together. Lately there is a clear rise of American beers in the (beer)shops in the Netherlands and Paul sees that there is more and more Dutch beer available in America, especially from little Dutch breweries like Emelisse (from Kamperland) and Brouwerij de Molen (from Bodegraven).
We’ll write about everything that’s interesting or happening around beer in both countries. We will look for similarities and of course for differences. From time to time we will write about other countries or discuss things which are not specifically Dutch-American.
But it will always concern BEER.

We hope you see again here frequently.
