BAIRD BREWING PHILOSOPHY
Baird Beer is, above all, an experience in flavor. The flavors of malt and hops and yeast (the primary raw material inputs in beer) are highlighted and
celebrated; they are not masked by and made subordinate to frigid temperatures and high levels of carbonation. We produce Baird Beer in tiny
batches with painstaking care, passion and reverence for tradition. We hope you enjoy imbibing Baird Beer as much as we enjoy making it.
How do we get so much flavor and character in Baird Beer? Because of our strict commitment to the following:
- Superior Raw Ingredients: Floor-malted barley and the exclusive
use of whole flower hops (no pellets or extract) contribute a bold and unmistakable character to Baird Beer.
-
Keg & Bottle Conditioning:
All Baird Beer undergoes a secondary fermentation and conditioning in the kegs or bottles from which it is served. This produces a completely natural
carbonation that is soft and inviting. Moreover, the beer remains alive and evolving until the very end.
- Aroma & Dry Hopping: The brewers of Baird Beer love the spicy and
fruity aromas of hops! Consequently, we add ample quantities of whole flower hops to the wort at the end of the boil to capture these
wonderful smells. Additionally, many of our beers are hopped during conditioning in a traditional practice known as "dry hopping." This produces an exquisite bouquet that is a defining characteristic of
Baird Beer.
- Proper Dispense: The flavor characteristics of a well-crafted beer
can be enjoyed in full only if the beer is dispensed at the appropriate temperature and at the proper level of carbonation. We serve Baird Beer in The Taproom at cellar-to-cool temperatures with only
moderate levels of natural carbonation. These serving temperatures allow the beers' essential flavors to take center stage while the tight
and natural carbonation makes for a soft, chewy and enveloping mouth-feel.
Beer is a beverage with a long history and rich tradition. In our view, it is the most sociable and versatile drink on Earth. Beer deserves better than what has been done to
it in industrial times. Our goal -- our mission, if you will -- is to restore to beer the flavor, character and dignity that rightfully belongs to it. Cheers!
