Stone’s Japanese Collaboration
Stone Brewing announced a few weeks ago a $26 million dollar expansion – including restaurant, brewery additions, even a hotel. Also mentioned was a Japanese brewing collaboration. What you see before you is the result of the collaboration, between Stone, Ishii Brewing (Island of Guam) & Baird Brewing (Numazu, Japan). A IPA brewed with green tea seems quite fitting for this Asia-American collaboration. Green Tea IPA is brewed by Mitch Steel Bryan Baird & Stone “ex pat” Toshii of Ishii. All the proceeds of this brew go to raising money to support Japanese tsunami relief.
Label:

NEW RELEASE: Baird Beer Jubilation Ale
Someone said to me yesterday – Japanese Christmas Beer? My reply was – of course! Baird Beer was founded in 2000 in Numazu, Japan by the husband & wife team of Bryan and Sayuri Baird. Their approach to craft brewing is simple. Balance + Complexity = Character. I tend to agree.
