Baird Beer & Taproom Events Bulletin
More Fall Seasonal Releases: Yabai-Yabai and Autumn Red
Dear Taproom Friend & Baird Beer Enthusiast:
The wait is over. Today we are releasing from our cellars the 2011 version of Yabai-Yabai Strong Scotch Ale! You should be able to find pints on draught at your favorite Baird Beer drinking establishment beginning Saturday, November 5 (and at our own Taproom pubs beginning today — Friday, November 4). Bottles (633 ml) too are available through our network of Baird Beer retailing liquor stores in Japan as well as direct from the brewery via our online E-Shop.
New Seasonal Beer Releases:
*Yabai-Yabai Strong Scotch Ale 2011 (ABV 8.3%):
Scotland, an historically important center of beer brewing, has a cool climate that favors cultivation of the hardy barley plant. Scottish Ales, thus, tend to feature the rich and robust flavor of malted barley. Baird Yabai-Yabai Strong Scotch Ale is, in a word, opulent! The color is a deep mahogany brown and the head is dense, creamy and tan. The aroma is one of soft fruit esters and warm fusel alcohols. The body is chewy and the flavor exhibits notes of molasses, caramel apples, rum cake and pit fruit. One hearty pint is enough to take the bite out of the late autumn chill. Two pints will leave you toasty, and blissfully, warm. Three pints and…. YABAI!
Today we also are pleased to announce the tapping of our latest small-batch real ale: Autumn Red Ale (ABV 5.2%). Brewed back in August with visions of the upcoming fall season foliage dancing in our heads, Autumn Red is finally ready to take its place in our Taproom hand-pump lineup. It manages to combine beautifully a hearty malt flavor with a sprite hop character (derived all from a single hop — U.S. Ahtanum). Autumn Red Ale is available only on hand-pump and exclusively at our Taproom pubs.
Cheers!

First of all about wasabi in general you had better read and refer to the two articles below as they are more precise and expanded:
https://shizuokagourmet.wordpress.com/wasabi-a-visit-to-its-birthplace-in-shizuoka/ (the producers are personal friends!)
https://shizuokagourmet.wordpress.com/wasabi-all-you-need-to-know/ (as the title says!)
Now, could you be kind enough to explain me in detail what the project is, its purpose and who are the initiators.
I can supply more precise information on history, cultivation and people if needed as well as more pictures I can take exclusively for the project.
Actually, I’m also actively and professionally helping wasabi farmers in Shizuoka Prefecture (80% of whole Japan wasabi production!) market, export and make their products better known. I can even organize visits and what else.
Looking forward to reading you soon, and once again sorry for the delay!
Best regards,
Robert-Gilles
