Day 219: August 7, 2015
Diary entry:
After yesterday’s near debacle, I had to spend quite a bit of the day picking up the pieces on the topic being organized, preparing for a collection of feedback early next week. I asked for it, and I got it!
Now I just need to be sure to follow through…

White Label White Wine Bordeaux BA Double IPA by Bierbrouwerij Emelisse. Hints of barrel on the aroma. Bitter, with some fruity sweetness, giving a little tartness on the aftertaste. Very good.

Brouwerij Emelisse was founded in 1994 in Kamperland, Netherland by brew master, Kees Bubberman. The brewery initially invested on North Beveland barley and Belgian Stabroek malt. Beers quickly became a hit, which lead to the growth and expansion of Brouwerij Emelisse. Official construction of the beer brewery began in January 2005. With a brewing capacity of 1,000 liters per batch, the Brouwerij Emelisse continues to thrive.
