    Did somebody say weekend?

    Welcome to two days of debauchery, excess and hedonism. Or not. In fact, let's be honest, most of us will slump exhausted in front of a device and wish we had a time machine or wish-granting genie that makes us 20 again.

    When I was actually 20, back in the 90s, these marvelous seedless watermelons became commonplace and opened a new world of possibilities for pip haters and watermelonophiles alike. But if you'd asked me if hops in beers could give watermelon flavours I'd have told you your two flannelette shirts and dirty boots had driven you crazy.

    Yet here I am drinking a beer with no added watermelon whose hop profile screams the fruit. What wondrous modern times we live in...

    Anyway, enjoy your weekend whether you're 20 or 50 or 100. But if you are 20, know the you missed the 90s - the greatest decade that ever there was!

    Cheers!

    Good day BAs! Thanks @Az fromOz for starting off today's thread! Decades are like beers - the best is what you perceive it to be. Today's New Breakfast Beer and the first since last Saturday is:

    Pretty nice little impy stout - wish I could buy a sixer of this alone, without the other hangers-on. Rating 4.34, rDev -0.2%.

    @AzfromOz, I am absolutely going to experience two days of debauchery, excess, hedonism, and most importantly: Mayhem! This will be in Minneapolis, MN. I am meeting up with some BAs tonight, then I will see Mayhem tomorrow. Right by where the NCAA Women's Final Four basketball tournament is being held. There will be chaos!

    This cellar pull today worked out well.

    Full cellar review linked here. Bottom line, this worked well, not a huge rum guy, but loved both the taste and how it complemented the base beer which shines through even after 5 years of aging.

    Sending safe travels and great beer and camaraderie wishes to @GreenBayBA this weekend, and to all the BAs and non BAs enjoying the weekend in Minneapolis!

    Horns Up BAs!

    Friday house cleaning fuel in the form of Oskar Blues BA21 Volume Five imperial stout aged in bourbon barrels with coffee beans and vanilla. Canned 1/21/21 and still drinking like a champ with prominent coffee, bourbon and a touch of vanilla/oak in the finish. It was the best of the series in my opinion.

    I love watermelon more so than is probably healthy. My grandmother used to tell me as a child that if I ate the watermelon seeds that one would grow inside my stomach. I believed her for a while lol

    I almost feel somewhat ashamed to mention this is supermarket beer (here, NL) for a reasonable price too. Probably will sell out over the weekend and not return soon. But that is OK. This beer combines best of both worlds, Belgian and American, when it comes to the use foudres I believe.
    Cheers
