Place and brewing

American pale-ale language, translated through Japanese balance.

Shuzenji well water, British Maris Otter, Japanese rock candy, Scottish ale yeast and American whole-flower hops form a deliberately international recipe. The organising principle is balance.

01

Whole-flower hops

Whole cones, not pellets or extracts, build a layered floral-citrus aroma.

02

Signature dry hopping

Dry hopping brings aroma forward while 34 IBU keeps bitterness measured.

03

Natural conditioning

Unfiltered beer develops carbonation naturally in bottle or keg.

Inside the glass

Hop-rich, food-minded and centred on balance.

BAIRD RISING SUN PALE ALE sensory profile

Grapefruit, orange, tropical fruit, pine and flowers sit over honey and caramel malt. Medium body and lively carbonation lead to a crisp finish with controlled bitterness.

AppearanceColour

Gold to light amber, hazy, with a creamy off-white head.

AromaNose

Citrus, tropical fruit, pine, flowers and honey malt.

PalateTexture

Medium body, lively carbonation, honey and caramel malt.

FinishLength

Crisp and refreshing, with controlled hop bitterness.

At the table

A food-first pale ale for delicate umami and light char.

It works especially well with sushi, sashimi, tempura, dashi, yakitori and moderately seasoned Thai dishes. Its bitterness is present but leaves delicate flavours visible.

Sushi, sashimi and dashi

Measured bitterness and soft water preserve delicate umami.

Tempura and yakitori

Citrus hops refresh oil while malt follows light char.

Mild Thai dishes

A crisp finish and aromatic hops sit beside herbs without excessive bitterness.

Protecting quality

Refrigeration protects the fresh, naturally conditioned profile.

Keep the beer refrigerated. Natural conditioning may leave yeast sediment at the bottom of the bottle; this is part of the production method.

Package330 ml / keg

Available in bottle and trade-keg formats.

StorageKeep refrigerated

Maintain cool handling throughout distribution.

SedimentExpected

Pour gently when a clearer presentation is required.

The maker

From a 30-litre start in Numazu to a farm brewery in Shuzenji.

Bryan and Sayuri Baird founded the brewery in Numazu in 2000. In 2014 production moved to a three-hectare site beside the Kano River in Shuzenji. Whole-flower hops, minimal processing and natural conditioning express the brewery’s principle: Balance + Complexity = Character.
