Harry Pinkster Beercollection
by Harry PinksterNL
Netherlands
Harry Pinkster Beercollection documents the beer labels collected by Harry Pinkster in Groningen since 1983. Pinkster follows an unusual rule: a label enters the main collection only if he has personally tasted the beer from which it came. By June 2026 the collection contained 16,909 different labels from beers originating in 121 countries, almost all of which have been scanned and made available online. More than 6,000 represent Dutch beers, while a separate part of the collection preserves objects and ephemera from breweries in Groningen. The website combines the catalogue with information on breweries and the circumstances behind individual additions to the collection.
