Lucky 7 Stout Week @ Fishmarket Taproom (March 17 – 22)

Dear Taproom Friend & Baird Beer Enthusiast:

March 17 is the Irish holiday St. Patrick’s Day. We take this occasion every year as an excuse to celebrate a beer style long associated with Ireland: Stout. Stout, of course, is a wonderful pitch-black ale that enjoys many stylistic manifestations. We serve up seven different interpretations of Stout during our week-long celebration which we call Lucky 7 Stout Week.

Lucky 7 Stout Week @ Numazu Fishmarket Taproom (Wed. March 17 – Mon. March 22):

This year’s Stout selection is as follows:

Shimaguni Stout

Mama’s Milk Stout (served on hand-pump)

Midnight Oil Export Stout 2010

Great American Stout

Citrus Wheat Stout

Morning Coffee Stout 2008

Morning Coffee Stout 2010

In addition to these Stout selections, we also will be honoring the Irish with the 2010 Real Ale debut of Luck of the Irish Red Ale. Special Lucky 7 Stout Cards, which include punches for all seven seasonal Stouts will be available for purchase and use during the week (Pint cards @ 5,000 yen; Half-pint cards @3,500 yen). Enthusiasts who purchase and complete a card during the week will be entered into an end-of-the-week raffle in which seven Baird Beer prizes will be awarded. The lucky 7 prizes to be awarded are:

Fishmarket Taproom Nonbei Pint Drink Card

Fishmarket Taproom Nonbei Half-pint Card

Shimaguni Stout (360 ml) 6-Pack

Midnight Oil Export Stout (633 ml) 4-Pack

Shimaguni Stout T-Shirt

Set of two Baird Beer logo glasses (pint & half-pint)

Set of two posters (Shimaguni Stout & Baird Beer logo)

Great Irish- and Stout-inspired cuisine, of course, will be served up by the Fishmarket Taproom kitchen during the week. A special Lucky 7 Stout Week food menu will include the following:

Irish Beef Stew

Roast Beef

Potato Gratin

Traditional Fish & Chips

Fisherman’s Seafood Pasta

English Cheese Plate

Stout Cake & Chocolate Platter

Warm Irish-style camaraderie and revelry will also be in abundance all week long. Please note that the final day, Monday, March 22, is a Japan national holiday and thus the Fishmarket Taproom will be opening its doors at noon. For all you Tokyo denizens who have not made the Numazu pilgrimage recently, this represents a great chance! We look forward to seeing and drinking/eating with all of you.

Cheers,

Bryan Baird
