Beer&Co

In Amsterdam, Rotterdam, and Groningen, you'll find Bier&Co, one of Europe's largest beer importers. It's like this: in the 1980s, a group of squatters imported Belgian beer for their friends, and the rest is history. Bier&Co still focuses on Belgian beer, but its selection has expanded considerably over the years. On their website daretodrinkdifferent Consumers can also buy the beers.
