Good morning!!

What? Wait a minute, beers for breakfast? Now that truly would be going beyond the pale.

Don't worry, I am not really going full on maverick. But these beers are eminently suited to breakfast (apparently.) One of them even says it on the can, the strongest too. What a day that would be if you started with that.

But what do you have before breakfast? A lovely coffee, that's what!

Uncle Funka!! What a fine name!! It reminds me of that song from South Park...

Anyway, what is this queer fish all about. As they say in Tokyo.

It's a pale ale steeped with Uncle Funka coffee beans. I mean there is a lot of other blurb but fuck it. Let's get tasty!

It looks ok on the pour, slightly muddy looking. It's not giving me the Billy Jean whatever that was.

Oh well, down the hatch. At least its got coffee in it, how can it fail?

Where's the coffee!?! Such insipidity? I will not stand it! It doesn't really taste of much. Just tastes like piss-weak beer.

Boo-hiss, Wiper and True, you have ruined your good track record with this tosh. 3/10 booms.

Well, what a rubbish breakfast so far. Can the Beavertown madness save me?

More splendid can art from those beavering beavers at Beavertown! Look at it!

I just found out they have a merch store. I hope they take crypto!

But let's get serious. How is this so called breakfast IPA? It's got mangos, milk, coconuts and vanilla!!

It is either going to be bonkers good or bonkers shit. I hope for the former obviously!!

To the pour-mobile!!

I am nervous, I always am when the first one is a duffer. Be good for me, Mango Milk Power!!

It looks good on the pour. A nice cloudy amber. Go video man go!!

Oh cor blimey, you have not let me down Beaver of Beavertown!! It's great. Mango with a hint of coconut on top of that hoppy goodness of IPA! I am a fan, will be getting more of this!! 9/10 booms!

Well, success comes at the end!! I will happily go forth and multiply now.

May the force Mango Milk Power be with you!!

Uncle funka...crazy name

It is!

Thanks once again for the insight - I do not know if it works like this in your country also , but if we are on holiday at the sea then any time is an acceptable time to drink something - be it at breakfast or dinner , but beer especially made for breakfast is very interesting

Oh yes, we do that too. The normal rules are suspended on holiday!!!

I very rarely go into a liquor shop and I drink mostly wine or things like Smirnoff storm etc, but I am going to make a point now to look at different beers. I am sure we do not have such a huge variety in our country - just the normal big names and a few ciders. Think I must get some weird ones and make up a Xmas stocking for my daughter and husband

The weird ones are where it's at! The nice sounding error and not outlandish that is ;0)

I have heard of breakfast beer prior to this and still can't wrap my meagre brain around it XD

I still can't either, how is it ever acceptable?!!

Somehow when I see the abbriviation IPA come by, my mind goes like: "yaIPA, yaIPA, andelee, andelee!", in a loud cartoonish style.

Anyway, IPAs never been my favorite, as a sweet tooth they are way too hoppy bitter to my taste. But I have to state, the second one got me somewhat temped to give it another shot.

I know what you mean with that hoppiness! This I've was the kind I like where the flavours balance it out a bit.

Hehe, I will probably think the same when I see IPA now!

That would be the definition of a fine brew I guess, having well balanced flavours.

yaaIPA, yaaIPA, andelay, andelay!

Even saw Speedy Gonzales run by, going for the bar.

Have a great one!

Haha, speedy is the best!!

Have a good one too dude, the weekend is not yet over!!

Thanks!

Really beer for breakfast sounds very crazy! One of them seemed juice but the other I must admit that I was impressed the design of the can looked great and so you say the mix of coconut and mango sounds delicious

It's a wild idea. Imagine we all drank beers for breakfast. What a mad world that would be!

Wow beers for breakfast? that is new!
It would be good to have a good day
The name of the first seems like a heehheh song, but what a disgrace it disappointed you.
The second left me crazy, so many ingredients, all have a great aroma in particular and for you to like it is that they did a good job in doing it, I also love the design a skeleton astronaut heheehh

The skeleton astronaut is ace!! The flavours were amazing. I really loved it!!

hehehehe of that I realized by means of your score, and the illustrations you have are very good besides they are striking. 👍🏻

Hehe, yes I do try and match the scores with the faces!

hehehehh :)

How about the taste of that beer, I love the design of the can, it's beautiful. Greetings dear friend.

Greetings! It was a cool can and a great beer!!

🎵 Shirt your forking face, Uncle Funka 🎵

Damnit!! Now I can't get that song out of my head! Wiper and True...ly disappointed this week. But, when you're riding a wave, everyone's waiting for you to stumble.

Way to go to the eager beavers for not giving up on it! Had it been consumed at breakfast and at a beach somewhere, I bet my left nut it would've scored a 10!

Oh man, I can only imagine that most beers if supped that way would end up being 10's! Damn, I miss beaches! I never got to go on holiday this year. It sucks!

Patience, BRO-sshopper. Once our portfolio moons, by George, we'll be missing going to work what with all the holidays we would be getting ourselves into. No, wait, scratch that. Work? What work??

By golly I hope so!

A part of me thinks we missed the big moon but you never know. Optimism reigns supreme!!

How could we miss the moon?? It's that big hulking thing right there! I'm sure we'll know when we moon... or when we're freefalling back down to the gaping chasm that envelops the darkest recesses of humanity's souls. But you know, whatever.

Whatever is whatevamoon

May the moon be with us!!

And always with us. Let its effervescent glow illuminate our path.

From 3/10 booms to a magical find!!! Gotta love to look An your face when you drink that crap beer. Any time is a good time for beer. Breakfast, lunch or dinner and anytime in between. My motto is that it is always after noon somewhere in the world!! Lol

Haha, anytime is a good time. I think the wife might disagree though!!

The last thing i would want to drink first thing is a beer, you are the beer reviewer so have to do this some time lol :)

Hehe, I don't think I would like it very much either! I don't think I would be allowed!

Think wifey might say something about it or you could put it in your coffee cup and pretend haha

Now there's an idea!!

Yeah a bad one lol

Lol who'd ever dislike a mango flavour anything?

I can't imagine myself!!

You were lucky in your selection.
Imagine the Mango first, having a great taste in the mouth, followed by Uncle Funka, it would be enough to make you call Uncle on future tests.
Might pay to have a few Mangos in the cupboard to cover future 2/10

I always try and arrange them by the best ladt, it makes for a pleasant surprise sometimes!

I'm happy that one worked out- after all, beer is made from cereal and everybody knows cereal is good for breakfast!

Cereal is where it's at!! Lol

hay, @meesterboom it is always evening time somewhere in the world so I wouldn't feel to bad having beer for your breakfast.
It didn't sound very nice to me just the fact it has mangos in it makes me feel a little, well green around the gills.
Looks like you enjoyed it anyway :D

Haha, it was very subtle, wasnt like a freshly squeezed one or anything! ;0)

hahahahaha, where do they come up with these names? Uncle Funka? lol They need to work on their labels. Again, looks like the periodic table of elements. Now the Mango Milk Power is awesome! That can design is amazing! hahahaha.

They do the best designs!! Everytime I see a new one I get excited!

hahaha yeah they are pretty incredible!

Ahh those beavers know how to brew, don't they? I am a mango fan so it had me going from the gitgo.

Haha a very animated review...loved it!

They do know how to do it! Most of their beers are smashing!!

hahaha! sir meesterboom what kind of world are we turning into now?? you can't have beer for breakfast lol.
What will they think of next right? but they succeeded with the second one, would that go well with bacon, eggs and toast, you know, a regular breakfast? And you have your coffee first obviously. Do they have bathrooms on the train to work? lol.

Great video sir meesterboom, I could only understand a few words of the first video but almost all of them for the second but I don't think I needed to understand the first video anyway, I could tell the beer sucked.

Wayhay, you are becoming familiar with the Scots tongue ;0)

HI Boom's another good session of tasting. You can't win them all and kind of know straight away if you like it or not now. Looking for a really shit beer that scores a 1/10. The beer companies should be sending you stock soon as these tastings are becoming legendary.

Ha, I would love it if they did but I suspect my honesty when a beer is shit might prevent that from happening!! Lol!

It might be sticky point.

Yeah, imagine sending someone free stuff and they spat out out and declared it shit :0D

Too bad Uncle Funka was a bust but at least Beavertown didn't let you down! Usually, anything made by a beaver is well constructed. Why would they do anything differently with a beer?

Hehe, that's a very good way of putting it! Uncle Funka had such a groovy name too. I though it would be a cracker

Cheers and happy weekend

A big cheers to you mate!!

@basejumper follow this blogger. The beer post are hilarious and very informative. The stories are good too but thought the beer would be more up your alley.
Cheers!

@meesterboom What a disappointment Uncle Funka. I had the wrong concept, I thought that the amnesty would come out badly, however, except for the day.
To enjoy dear friend
Salut
happy beer saturday

Did something happen Uncle Boom? Never ever seen you give a beer such a low rating before. Must've been piss poor

It was a very poor beer! Tasted of nothing
