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 334: November 30, 2015
Diary entry:
Back to work after the long weekend. Always rough getting up on that Monday morning.
I had to go in a little early to drop my car off for some repairs. Unfortunately, when I got to the repair shop, they didn’t have a record of my appointment, or the replacement car for me. Turns out that while we were all very clear on the appointment being in Veldhoven when we made it, somehow it wound up on the books of Eindhoven. Oh well, rescheduled for next week now.
A few interesting meetings at work, where somehow I found myself volunteering for more work, since the person who is supposed to be doing it has been out sick for a bit more than a week now. But we have to keep things moving, and no one else was stepping up, so here I go again.
At least we’re getting close to finishing things up for the year. One month to go! Hard to believe it’s the last day of November already!

Triporteur Wild & Funky by BOMBrewery. Sour ale of 5.5%. Not quite as sour as I expected or hoped. A bit watery. Good. But not great.
