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 350: December 16, 2015
Diary entry:
Three-Hundred and Fifty Days!
Only 15 Days to go!
So close, I can almost stop tasting it!
Had to change offices at work today, moving from the 14th to the 15th floor to make room for some bigger groups who needed the bigger room I was sitting in. I think I’ve now been in almost every office on these two floors at some point or other. Luckily I don’t have much to move. Less than 30 minutes to unhook everything, move it all, and have it all hooked up again and be back to work.
But what a mess! The group that was in this room must not have had cleaning done in here for a few months, at least!
The Beer:
Name: La 44 Christmas
Style: Winter Ale
Producer: Brasserie De La Gleize
Alcohol content: 6.0%
Bottle size: 0.33 l
Purchased from: Bierhandel Willems & Zoon in Grobbendonk, Belgium
La 44 Christmas by Brasserie de La Gleize. 6% ABV Winter Ale. Fruity aroma. Flavor of black liquorice and some dark fruits, plum maybe. Only 6% ABV, so not at all bad on alcohol burn.
