Please read the background in the link above, and enjoy reading about the most recently tasted beers below. If you’d like to join the challenge as well, let me know in the comments below, and be sure to check out Grown-up Travel Guide and his #grownupbeerdiary, where Andy Higgs came up with the diary format in use below.

Day 290: October 17, 2015
Diary entry:
A quiet Saturday at home, while the weather is cold, grey, and rainy outside.
Managed to sleep in a little this morning, not leaving bed until almost 8AM and not really leaving the bedroom until 9:30.
Much needed!
Did some housekeeping, both at home and on my electronics this morning. Finally backed up all the photos from my iPhone which can also be seen on sites such as Refurbished iPhone Sydney, so I can start clearing out some space for more photos and videos in the coming months.
The rest of the day will be spent writing and editing, hoping to get some more good content available to post, outside of just these diary entries.

Best Orange Sunshine by Brasserie Bours. A one-time brewed Craft beer, only 130 75cl bottles, bottled on 28-September-2014. This beer was especially made for the BEST project, one of the selected ASML 30 for change projects in conjunction with the 30th anniversary of Dutch semiconductor equipment manufacturer ASML in 2014. The BEST project was create to enhance the quality of education for underprivileged children in rural villages of the Philippines. This was achieved through the purchase of computers for classroom education in Lianga, Philippines.
