    Hello everyone! What beer are you drinking now, or as us cool kids say, WBAYDN?

    I'm WBAYDNing a very ordinary example of the macro beer maker's craft, Monsuta Okinawa Supreme. For some reason, it's brewed in Japan exclusively for an Australian drinks distributor, and why anyone would import this and inflict it on the uneducated beer masses is beyond me. To their everlasting shame, they even market it as a premium beer. Untruth in advertising? Who would've thought it?

    In its defence, it's a pretty beer, but that's about where the positives end.

    Hopefully, your Friday and your beers are better than mine!

    Cheers to the weekend, and as always, what beer are you drinking now?

    How interesting. Before I read what you wrote, I was like "I am pretty sure I hit every craft beer store and bar in Okinawa and never saw this". Makes sense now. Or actually, it doesn't. I wonder why they don't keep any for themselves. Great artwork by the way. Except for the fact that there is no Fuji-like landscape anywhere in the Okinawan archipelago. Interesting choice.

    Thanks for sharing!

    I imagine Okinawa would beer horrified that this Fuji-bedecked beer is representing its brewing scene downunder!

    Cheers!

    Speaking of Okinawa, I was looking in the back of the closet the other day and found a couple of my wife’s high school year books. Her dad was in the air force and stationed in Okinawa for a number of years. She spent her first three years of high school (1967-1969) there. The picture is her sophomore yearbook 1968. It was an interesting read.

    Good day BAs! Thanks @AzfromOz for starting today's thread and sharing your choice of a truly awful beer. We've all had one but how many of us document it on WBAYDN? Fortunately for me, today's New Breakfast Beer, a bottle from a NINJA STRIKE by @snaotheus during BSBIF#1, is excellent:

    Final impression and summation: 4.5 Very smooth and flavorful, lacking the harshness associated with many Russian Impy stouts and many whiskey-barrel aged brews. The cardamom comes through, particularly as it warms, with the cinnamon part-way through and ginger eventually appearing. Never any vanilla but that’s I flavor I can rarely detect. No coffee. In general, an excellent Impy Russian stout! Thanks Ryan!

    figured i would start with something that has a dose of coffee. "viscous" is an understatement. this shit is thicker than a Snicker's.

    TGIF!

    Good morning BAs! I took yesterday off as a cleanse day as I plan on doing some drinking this weekend. Today marks another naked day for me (“Will you still need me, will you still feed me (beers), when I’m 64?”). Starting such an august day, as is my habit, with a BOMB, this morning it is BA Birthday BOMB!:

    Bottled 6/4/19. Poured at 53°. Glassware courtesy of @Ocalafox .

    Hot green chilies, chocolate, caramel, a little bourbon. No coffee which has turned green peppers (mostly masked by the hot verde sauce). Some vanilla on backend. Mouth warmth from 14.7%. A wee long in the tooth, but a tasty way to start the day!

    Cheers and have a fearsome Friday y’all!
