Dutch Pub Guide |
Friesland, Groningen & Drenthe - beer bars, pubs and brewpubs |
Introduction | ||||||||||||
This page lists beer pubs in the Dutch provinces
of Friesland, Groningen & Drenthe. Why the three provinces lumped together? I could barely get enough pubs for a page out of all of them. Not the best drinking country, children, the north of the Netherlands. |
