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.

Day 232: August 20, 2015
Diary entry:
An early start today, with the first meeting already at 8AM, so I need to get in even earlier if I want any time to do my morning catch-up before sitting in meeting rooms all day.
A good day of sessions, including an integration session at the end of the day that helped to make project management more aware of some of the most critical, overarching issues that we need their help to escalate and get answers on. The sooner these decisions are made, the sooner we can complete this phase of the project.
