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.
Day 98: April 8, 2015
Diary entry:
Silly me. I think I may be the only person who has an opportunity to sleep in due to a 9AM training class, but decides to schedule a meeting at 8AM instead.
An interesting class as well, which turned out to be more of a workshop, for which only 5 of 15 invitees showed up! But I’m glad I did, as it turned out to be very productive with the smaller group. Called in a couple of reinforcements for tomorrow to ensure we finish the full deliverables of the workshop.
Taking it easy tonight due to the Twitter chats…you’re all invited to join in for #TRAVEX at 5PM ET and #FoodTravelChat at 8PM ET each week on Wednesday!
