Baird Shimaguni Stout
Style Dry Stout
Brewed by Baird Brewing Co.
Numazu, Shizuoka, Japan
5.0 ABV
38 IBU

This is the Baird version of the quintessential Irish beer style: Dry Stout.

The pitch-black color and rich, roasty dryness belie the moderate gravity and alcohol content.

This Stout is meant for everyday drinking – at home or at the pub.


The Label Speaks

The Japanese know their nation as the ‘island country’ (Shimaguni).

So too do the Irish. Ireland’s emblematic beer is Stout.

The Shimaguni Stout label artwork depicts Japan and Ireland joined together by a bridge.

This bridge represents both the common historical heritage of island-country consciousness and the newly shared bond of Stout brewing excellence.


Bryan's Brewing Notes

Barley, next to water, is the largest ingredient component of beer.

Barley is the ideal grain for beer brewing because of its large content of starch, its rich enzymatic makeup, its moderate protein level, and its husk component.

All of the enzymes needed to transform the barley grains’ starch into simple fermentable sugars are present within the barley grain itself, only not in a state readily actionable by the brewer in his brewhouse.

This is where Malting comes in.

Malting is a process of developing the grain enzymes into a state at which they are ready and able to transform grain starch into simple sugars.

The process involves steeping the grain in water, germinating and air-drying the grain, and finally kiln-drying the grain. Now it’s ready for use by the brewer.

The most traditional form of malting is called Floor-Malting.

In this case, the steeped barley is spread out on a warehouse floor where it germinates for several days as the maltster regularly and gently turns the germinating bed of grain while blowing air through it to help it dry.

Today, almost all malt is germinated and air-dried not in this labor intensive traditional way, but rather by use of efficient and sophisticated industrial equipment.

I am a sucker for tradition, however, and I find something compelling about the simple and gentle nature of manual floor-malting.

Floor-malted barley costs a little more, but that doesn’t worry us.

All of our base barley malt (90-plus percent of the malt we use) is floor-malted.

Shimaguni Stout is a beer where barley (both floor-malted and un-malted) is the star ingredient.

Floor-malted Maris Otter contributes most of the sugar content while the midnight-black color and roasty burnt character derive mainly from additions of un-malted and highly kilned Roast Barley – the signature ingredient in Irish-style Dry Stout.

Ball Launcher Poorly Made and Hard To Use, Save Your Money
This launcher was too long and thin to pick up the ball from the ground, I had to use my other hand to press down on it. The screw on handle was heavy and kept coming loose no matter how tight I made it, strain on the wrist to use. The ball holder end would often not let go of the ball when trying to launch it. I ended up putting it in the trash. I had two shorter Chuckit launchers that are much better made, will stick with them. I don't recommend this to anyone, save your money.

Go Get It!
GoSports does it again. Our family has a lot of GoSports products. It brings us comfort knowing when we order a product from them the quality is going to be great. The Ball Launcher is excellent. Our lab loves the soft tennis balls that come with it, preferring them over the harder rubber ones from other brands. The launcher itself is thoughtfully designed, well-made, and comfortable to hold. Our new go-to for daily fetch sessions.

Gave it a Try
I have always used the Chuck It ball and ball launcher. I thought I would try this since the price was better. There is definitely a reason it is priced lower. The handle on this one twists on and constantly comes undone when you throw, and it does not launch nearly as well. I would not order this product again.

A few usability issues
My dog is obsessed with playing fetch. It’s part of our daily routine. Pros - I like that this comes with two launchers so we can keep one at home and one in the car. - Build feels solid Cons - The cup is slightly too small for regular sized tennis balls. I buy the large Costco box of Penn tennis balls every couple of years for my dog. If you fully seat the ball in the cup/launching end, it’s extremely difficult to throw and puts some strain on your wrist. — the workaround is to only partially insert the ball when picking it up. - Like others have stated, the launcher does come unscrewed occasionally after a few throws. It’s kind of annoying so I’ll likely try some thread lock, but ideally that wouldn’t be necessary.

Fun!!!
I can’t say enough good things about this tennis ball launcher! Roxy absolutely loves it. Every time I pick it up, her tail goes crazy with excitement. It’s so easy on my arm, and I love that it gives her a great way to burn off energy. The launcher is sturdy, well-made, and works like a charm. If you have a high-energy pup like Roxy, this is a must-have!
