Good morning Japan! And isn't it a lovely morning?
Hope this Friday finds all of you well. I just got off of the phone with friends and family back home, enjoying three days off, football, and tons of turkey and other foods that are sure to stick to the ribs and hips. Ahhh...Thanksgiving. I love trying to explain the concept of Thanksgiving to my students or co-workers. It seems not everyone can make the logical connection between the assumed 'first Thanksgiving' between the Indians and the Pilgrims and today's traditions of eating until we puke, then going out and spending money that we don't have. Ahh...America.
I've got a quite nice Friday planned as this afternoon I will make the almost two-hour train ride into Toyohashi to meet some friends in a more civilized part of Aichi. Plan on grabbing a few street brews and hopefully some decent food. Oh yeah, I also have to do this thing that some call 'work' today. Bummer.
I have been posting many pictures of good beer lately, and I want to offer something for those that may not have access to Japanese craft beer in stores near your homes. Don't forget the internet!!! It can get pricey, but don't overlook some excellent sites in Japanese where you can order some great beers! If you can't read Japanese, don't worry. Ask a friend or a co-worker to help you out, and then offer to let them taste some of the beers. It is a good way to make some new friends and introduce someone new to the craft beer movement in Japan!!!
Today's site:
This site offers a ton of great beer, and BAIRD BEER ICE CREAM! Check it out, and place an order today!!!!

Just want to mention that Baird is taking their Internet sales back from Good Beer in December -- check out our new website.
Not sure if the ice cream will still be offered on Good Beer, but probably.
Hey guys, I was in Tokyo again last week (I gotta get down to Numazu one of these days...), just blogged a bit to my visit to the Harajuku Tap Room: http://oshuushu.blogspot.com/2009/11/part-1.html
