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. 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. You can catch up on all of our posts as part of the challenge under the tag ottbeerdiary.
From December 1 through December 24, I’m going to try to use a Christmas Beer for each day of Advent as part of my #ottadvent15 2015 Advent Calendar. Follow along with the tag ottadvent15.
Day 348: December 14, 2015
Diary entry:
It’s Monday, and as always, back to work!
Arrived early for my 8:30 meeting…who never showed up. Bummer!
Had to prioritize and only attend half of the morning core team meeting for project three, as I had to attend and present at the end-of-the-year project board meeting for project one at the same time. We got our sign-off for this year’s deliverable, and the go ahead to move onto the next phase next year, so that was good.
To celebrate, we had the team drink right after work, where I had a Doerak IPA by Van Moll. I do think this is a very nice IPA! But alas, not a Christmas beer, and not new, so I had to go home again for my beer of the day…
The Beer:
Name: Bon Secours Blonde de Noël
Style: Blonde Winter Ale
Producer: Brasserie Caulier
Alcohol content: 10.0%
