This post is a part of the 2015 New Beer Every Day Beer Diary Challenge, #ottbeerdiary. Over the course of 2015, I will be trying a new beer every day.

Day 218: August 6, 2015
Diary entry:
An interesting day today.
One very important meeting involving people from around the world…only no one was there to lead the meeting! Hard to get so many people together, and to have it go to waste due to no chairman would have been a waste, so I had to step up. Unfortunately, now I have a lot more on my plate to keep coordinating until the people who should have run it are back from vacation. Oh well!
The Beer:
Name: Batch 1000
Style: American IPA
Producer: Amager Bryghus
Alcohol content: 6.5%
Bottle size: 0.50l
Purchased from: De Caigny in Essen, Belgium
And a Happy IPA Day to you too! Batch 1000 by Amager Brughus of Denmark. Whoa! This is beautiful! Hoppy bitterness. Very slight fruit. Well balanced. Delicious!
Commercial Description:
A great deal of beer has run through our fermentation tanks since Amager Bryghus opened in April 2007. There are more tanks now, and more of US – and, admittedly, there is a bit more of EACH of us as well. But that is just an indication that we are doing well and working hard at sampling beer for you!
Now we have brewed and sampled our way to Batch #1.000, and we want to celebrate that with a beer of a type we know many of you love dearly: a juicy, American inspired IPA, dripping with hops.
There are hops everywhere in Batch #1.000 – one kind during the mashing and the boil, two others in the whirlpool, and finally three more added during both the first and second dry hopping.
Thank you for your support through all the years we’ve spent in Tårnby’s concrete Hell. We would not be here today, if it wasn’t for you.
