Day 222: August 10, 2015
Diary entry:
Another Monday. Another week.
A very quiet day in the agenda. No meetings scheduled throughout the morning. Spent the day reviewing documents that I need to give my feedback on, and preparing for project #4…yes, a fourth project that I need to work on along with the other three.

Commercial Description:
Brouwerij de Molen was founded by Menno Olivier in the South Holland Province of Netherlands. After 12 years of brewing beers for his personal fulfillment, Menno finally decided to share his talent and love for beers with the world. Menno started his journey with beers right in his own kitchen. After learning more about beers and beer trades, soon he decided to turn it into a real profession. Using a garage for space, Brouwerij de Molen was born. The brewery has stainless steel installations that have a brewing capacity of 500 liters per batch, producing over 20 types of beers.
