There are a lot of beers out there with fruit in them.  To start with, the myriad lite lime type things that seem to have endless marketing budgets.  There are also more than a few pleasing beers made in Canada with things like raspberries, apricots or blueberries in them.  And, of course, there are the classic Lambics from Belgium, many of which have fruits added like raspberries, cherries, peaches or black currants.  I have had more than a few of these varied beers, and have liked some, disliked others, and been madly in love with a few.  But until Brock from Kensington Brewing Co told me about Fruit Stand last summer, I had not yet come across a beer made with watermelon.  Which is a shame; watermelon is a sweet juicy flavour, that should go well in a beer.  So does it?
