Dear Taproom Friend & Baird Beer Enthusiast:

February has arrived and this marks the annual release of a very unique seasonal Baird Beer: The Carpenter’s Mikan Ale.

Mikan is a sort of Japanese tangerine, only without the seeds. We receive the mikans for this wonderfully piquant, citrusy brew from the Heda garden of our carpenter friend, Nagakura-san, and hence the name. The beer is wheat-based and its zesty, thirst-quenching character masks a big alcohol punch (approximately 6.9%). The citrus character derived from the mikans is further buttressed by loads of citrusy American Amarillo and Cascade hops. This is a brew truly like no other. Cheers to the Carpenter!

Mikan Ale is now on tap at the Fishmarket Taproom so hurry in for a pint while supplies last.

Cheers,

Baird Brewing Company & Fishmarket Taproom
