Day 211: July 30, 2015
Diary entry:
This was one of those days where I literally went from meeting room to meeting room the entire day. No time for lunch. Never set foot at my own desk. Just meeting, to meeting, to meeting.
A few of the meetings did accomplish a bit though. Progress is being seen. So I guess it’s all worth it. This is what I’m here for, after all…
The Beer:
Name: Sologne Ambrée
Style: American Amber / Red Ale
Producer: Chambord Gastronomie

Sologne Ambrée by Chambord Gastronomie. Picked this up at Chambord in May. I have to admit, I’m amazed how much I like this beer! Great aroma. Nice bitterness. Decent, not too sweet flavor.

Brewed by François Loubriat at Saint-Germain for Brasserie Artisanale du Centre.
