Year-Round
Baird Beer brewers craft a diverse and balanced lineup of year-round styles.
While each beer provides a distinct and unique flavor experience, all of our styles share a certain “House” character stemming from a common brewing philosophy.
Year-Round
Seasonal
Beer is the most diverse beverage on earth. We celebrate this diversity through our seasonal series brewing efforts. Inspiration for our seasonal brewing comes from many sources. Often times we create a beer in order to make use of some wonderful local ingredient that is fresh and in season.
Other times we feel the urge to re-create historical styles that are classics but hard to come by these days. Sometimes irreverence takes control and we brew batches that thumb the nose at established style parameters.
The possibilities in beer are really limitless.
Seasonal
Spring – Summer – Fall – Winter: We celebrate each season with the appropriate beer.
Four seasons are too few to properly represent the tremendous style diversity that exists in the craft beer world. We take each month of the year as opportunity to feature yet a different beer style and flavor.
Adding fresh in-season fruits and spices to the beer ingredient mix and subjecting them to fermentation can lead to sublime flavor outcomes and a truly fruitful beer drinking (and life) experience.
This series represents our brewer’s playground. In the playground, we have much small-system equipment with which to play. Our brewing play is free and fun-loving and passionate. You can taste the passion!
