Baird Angry Boy Brown Ale
American Brown Ale6.2% ABV
Baird Brewing CompanyJapan
Beneath the cool facade of the warrior, a red-hot flame of intensity, determination and, yes, anger burns. So it is with this unpredictable Brown Ale: fleeting malty sweetness and warmth hide complexity, a barely controlled bitterness, and, naturally, a bit of an angry edge.
Baird Carpenter's Mikan Ale
Fruit Beer6.1% ABV
Baird Brewing CompanyJapan
The mikans used in this brew are fresh, succulent, and local ? harvested on the Heda land and by the hand of our carpenter friend, Nagakura-san. The Baird brewers hand-process the harvested mikans, shaving off the outer skin of the peel and pressing the juice. Both peel shavings and juice are added to the brew at different stages of production. The mikans serve to add depth and complexity to an already sumptuous ale; their role is to complement, not dominate. In addition to mikans, the 2011 Carpenter?s Mikan Ale incorporates a grain bill including Maris Otter pale ale malt, wheat malt, unmalted wheat, carapils malt and Japanese sudakito sugar. The hopping schedule features cirtrusy Centennial, Cascade and NZ Cascade varieties. The combination of mikans and citrus hops provide an exquisitely complex yet balanced fruit character.
Baird Coast Wheat Wine
Specialty Beer9.5% ABV
Baird Brewing CompanyJapan
The 2010 version of West Coast Wheat Wine contains no character malt whatsoever and thus appears in a wonderfully hazy hue of sunset gold. The flavor is characterized by a deep, layered wheat malt complexity that is complemented beautifully by a cleanly bitter hop character (exclusive use of U.S. West Coast hops: Magnum, Horizon, Perle, Sterling). Two yeasts (American and Scottish) combine in two stages of fermentation to add further flavor complexity and to produce a piquant all-natural carbonation.
Baird Dark Sky Imperial Stout
Imperial Stout9.0% ABV
Baird Brewing CompanyJapan
This foreboding stout is a beer lover?s winter dream come true. It is pitch-black in color, unctuous in body, elusively complex in flavor, warming in alcohol and piquantly hoppy. The 2010-release version is slightly more British in character than previous versions: e.g. more British malt, lower IBU and milder hop varieties, less use of Japanese black sugar, and fermentation with a British ale yeast.
Baird Jubilation Ale
Winter Seasonal Beer7.0% ABV
Baird Brewing CompanyJapan
This malty rich, festively red-hued ale derives its special character from the addition of two wonderful local ingredients: (1) fully ripened figs candied in Japanese red sugar and (2) cinnamon twigs culled from a Japanese Nikki tree. The full bodied character combined with the attendant alcohol strength will warm the flesh just as it brings jubilation to the soul.
Baird Kurofone
American Porter6.0% ABV
Baird Brewing CompanyJapan
Kurofune is the word Japanese used to describe the American gunboats that came to open Japan to Western trade. Kurofune Porter is sleek and forceful, but leaves a winning bittersweet taste of chocolate and coffee on the tongue.
Baird Numazu Lager
Vienna Lager5.0% ABV
Baird Brewing CompanyJapan
Clean, soft Numazu water combines with German malts and a mix of world hops to yield a fantastically round yet snappy lager. It is unfiltered and naturally carbonated like all Baird Beers.
Baird Red Rose Amber Ale
American Amber Ale5.5% ABV40 IBU
Baird Brewing CompanyJapan
The Red Rose is a most original Amber Ale ? the result of high fermentation (with ale yeast) at an unusually low (lager-like) temperature. This robust, rich brew, with fruity, malty flavors, is nonetheless crisp, refreshing, and dry. As a rose ? extravagantly layered, expansively fragrant, and just a bit prickly.
Baird Rising Sun Pale Ale
American Pale Ale5.1% ABV34 IBU
Baird Brewing CompanyJapan
This hoppy, brisk and refreshing Pale Ale is indescribably complex, but holds tenaciously to Japan?s prime aesthetic value?balance. It is a perfect beer for drinking now, later, tomorrow, the next day, every day.
Baird Shimaguni Stout
Irish Stout4.6% ABV
Baird Brewing CompanyJapan
This is the Baird version of the quintessential Irish beer style: Dry Stout. The pitch-black color and rich, roasty dryness belie the relatively low gravity and alcohol content. Japan and Ireland, in addition both to being ?island countries,? now share one more trait: great, locally brewed Dry Stout!
Baird Shizuoka Summer Mikan Ale
Fruit Beer5.5% ABV
Baird Brewing CompanyJapan
A summer mikan (natsumikan) is a grapefruit-like citrus fruit that is tart and sweetly sour in flavor and wonderfully aromatic. The only fruit to make it through the doors of the Baird Brewery, of course, is fresh whole fruit recently plucked from the land. Our summer mikans are Shizuoka-grown, right in the Heda orchard of our carpenter-partner-friend, Mitsuo Nagakura. The bounty of fruit is painstakingly hand-processed by the Baird Brewery team before its introduction into the brewhouse. The 2010 natsumikan harvest was particularly good and you can taste all of its glory in each sip of this extraordinarily zesty brew. The refreshing citrus character of Shizuoka Summer Mikan Ale is not supplied by fruit alone. The natsumikans are complemented beautifully by deft additions of three citrusy American hop varieties: Simcoe, Centennial and Amarillo. The quenchingly brisk and tart result is summer paradise in a glass!
Baird Suruga Bay Imperial IPA
Double IPA8.5% ABV90 IBU
Baird Brewing CompanyJapan
90 BUs of hops in the boil, double dry-hopping, and krausening at packaging give this double IPA a complexity and character as rich as the Suruga Bay is deep.
Baird Teikoku IPA
English IPA6.0% ABV
Baird Brewing CompanyJapan
This ale bursts with hop character while still achieving a sublime balance due to a firm, robust malt backbone. It is a rich yet refreshing IPA in the English tradition.
Baird Temple Garden Yuzu Ale
Fruit Beer5.5% ABV
Baird Brewing CompanyJapan
Yuzu is a Japanese citron fruit the aroma of which is gorgeously spicy and the flavor lemon-like tart. This sprite, snappy ale is fruited with yuzu and hopped in a complementary way.
Baird Wabi Sabi
American Pale Ale6.0% ABV50 IBU
Baird Brewing CompanyJapan
Wabi-Sabi is a uniquely Japanese and hybrid version of the craft beer world’s two most popular styles: Pale Ale and IPA. Local Japanese wasa
Baird Wheat King Ale
American Wheat Beer4.2% ABV
Baird Brewing CompanyJapan
This cloudy, golden-hued wheat based ale is fresh and wholesome like a newly baked loaf of bread. It also is supremely quenching. The aroma is delicately floral.
