Day 246: September 3, 2015
Diary entry:
Stayed up for the #FoodTravelChat last night, so a little tired today. And with meetings starting early, I didn’t get much chance to sleep in a little, so it was a bit rough.
But, with a new important all-day workshop scheduled for tomorrow that I need to prepare for, I was able to spend all of the free time I was able to squeeze into my agenda working to prepare for that.
And then I went home to get some sleep 🙂
The Beer:
Name: Babylone

Babylone by Brussels Beer Project. This Bread Bitter (65 IBU) smells of pine, and tastes of bitter grapefruit. Delicious! Brewed with locally recycled fresh bread and EKG, Chinook, and Crystal hops.
