The Marketentster and the Halberdier can also be seen on this square. A halberd is a weapon from the riot police: a long stick with an iron point and an axe and a hook underneath. The carrying soldier is a halberdier. The marketentster follows a soldier's camp and is allowed to sell small items to the soldiers, such as drinks, food and small necessities. On the other side of the square is Bregje. Bregje is a niece of the beer brewer. Bregje is 11 years old. She is worried about her father. He is a mercenary with the Spanish, in Grol. She decides to go and look for him, and to enter Grol through the Dutch line. There she can at least go to her uncle Jan, the beer brewer. She wants to convince her father to flee home. But entering Grol is not possible on her own. Fortunately, she meets Harmen. As a farmer's son, he knows all the local back roads. And he has little to do, now that his father's farm has been demolished to clear the field of fire for Frederik Hendrik's soldiers. At night, the Dutch soldiers were extra vigilant. Then smugglers tried to get supplies into the city, through the lines. And spies came to reconnoiter the Dutch positions. In short: anyone who entered no man's land at night was an enemy. Even if they were children. Dangerous! She herself does not know the area around Grol. Harmen does: very well in fact. He wants to help her. Harmen sets off with Bregje to Grol. During the day, along the Frisian redoubt, he suggests. Harmen did not want to go along the Frisian redoubt for nothing. At least the Frisian mercenaries there speak the same language, not like the English on the English redoubt. They were seen, but Harmen convinced the Frisians that he lives here and is therefore allowed to come. She got away with it! After that, everything went smoothly and they reached Grol
Villa Adriana was the "home" of several generations of a well-known Groenlo brewing family. It all started here a long time ago. Brouwersnös will now continue and expand this beer story, but in its own way. With small craft beers. Also provided with beautiful stories and sounding names that fit into this environment. There is also a distillery in Brouwersös.
