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.

Durable, even for a Great Dane!
Color: Ultra, Size: XXL
I've bought many tennis ball sized ChuckIt balls in the past (for medium sized dogs we've owned), so when we knew we were going to be babysitting our daughter's Great Dane, I bought a bigger one for her. The 4" is perfect for her! She plays catch with it, but also likes to gnaw on it. It holds up great!

Another great product from Chuckit!
Color: Ultra, Size: XL
Exactly the high quality that I've come to expect from Chuckit! The plastic/rubber used in their products is extremely tough yet gives enough that it's hard to actually pierce the it and tear apart. We have had Chuckit! Sticks and Balls with launcher for years and love them all. This particular ball is pretty big so my 45 pound pit mix struggles to pick it up but that's part of the fun for him. My 85 pound pit mix can pick it up no problem. The only "complaint" is that the two of them have been having so much fun with their new ball, they have already knocked something over and broke it.
😁

Perfect for my mid size pit bull
Color: Ultra, Size: XL
Updating my review, the ball only lasted 5 days. I left the 5 stars because we had enough fun those 5 days to be worth the small price. She has dog has a lot of jaw strength, so I’m not surprised
We have a mid size foster pit bull. This ball is her favorite toy. It’s durable and the perfect size for her to play ball safely.

Good quality
Color: Ultra, Size: Large, Color: Ultra, Size: Large
Great quality. I purchased for my daughter’s dog who destroys all toys. This toy holds up. I didn’t realize it was a large and the chickit stick she had was a medium. The large ball ended up working out good for playing inside the house. The dog likes it a lot.

Please read!
Color: Ultra, Size: Large
This dog ball is so useful! We have a large property and we use the Chuckit! thrower with the ball. The color and material of the toy is very high-quality and lasts for a long time. We have been using the Chuckit! brand for a long time now and we love their dog products!
It is a good price and we buy replacement balls like once or twice every 6 months because they keep getting lost in bushes or trees 😂
After some time the color of the ball gets washed out and since our dogs are aggressive chewers, one of the balls we got broke and split open, but it was still usable! The reason that one broke is because we had it for a HECKA LONG TIME!
It has no squeaker so when your dog has the ball it wont make any loud and annoying sounds.
It is easy to pick up with the thrower and it seems durable and sturdy enough to last them a few months. I don't recommend as a cat toy because this ball is specifically designed for dogs. But is your cat likes fetch i guess it could work!
The ball is soft enough to not be hard as steel, but is sturdy enough to not break immediately.
