The Label Speaks
Here we depict the Japanese figs and cinnamon twigs which spice this celebratory holiday season ale. Both the label and the beer are emblematic of the good cheer and renewed energy with which Japanese celebrate the coming of each New Year.

Bryan's Brewing Notes
Life is a fleeting thing. Each of us is here but a very short time. The older we get, the more clearly we comprehend this inexorable reality. And despite the sometimes awful travails and the always regular monotony of life, it remains a mysteriously beautiful thing. The end-of-the-year holiday season provides wonderful occasion for reflection and appreciation of the joy of living. At Baird Brewing, our appreciation of this joy is manifest in a celebratory Christmas-New Year season holiday brew which we call Jubilation Ale.
Malty rich and festively red-hued, Jubilation Ale derives its special character primarily from the addition of two wonderful indigenous ingredients: (1) fully ripened Japanese figs (ichijiku) 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.
