Beer girls in the nosebleed section

Posted by Patrick under Tokyo Summer Vacation

Though our row 26 seats leave something to be desired, the beer delivery service works just fine up here.

Each brewery has their own beer girls who wander up and (and up) the steep inclines of the upper deck, looking for thirsty fans willing to part with their 800 yen for a 500ml beer. The four breweries (Asahi, Yebisu, Kirin and Suntory) each have their own neon-colored uniform for easy identification in the crowd. What’s more amazing is that they carry small kegs on their backs in insulated backpacks, hiking miles of stairs over the course of the three-hour game.

Amazingly enough, every one of them has a huge smile on their face, despite the burden on their back.

   The beer girls idea may be a good franchise and investment opportunity. Make them available for local events, beer fests etc. I can envision the Laughing Ass logo on the back of the keg, on their hats etc. May need to make beer guys available as well since we would probably get sued by some guy for not being an equal opportunity employer. Another opportunity may be to sell it to Delta for their Flight attendants - get rid of the unwieldy snack carts, split the keg to hold beer and wine, maybe add a parachute. Provide a small version of the pack for frequent flyers, etc. Looks like you two are doing some very good research!!!
   Have fun and thanks for sharing!

   Will she marry me?

   Unfortunately, she won’t fit in the overhead bin, so I won’t be bringing one home with me.

   Rantz — if you had a passport, you could find out by coming here and asking one of them! Of course, you could try to create one yourself, ala Wierd Science.
