Place and brewing

The brewery’s origin in Numazu, carried forward in an amber lager.

Baird began with a 30-litre system opposite Numazu harbour in 2000. This lager joined the permanent range in 2009 and remains the only lager among the brewery’s year-round beers.

01

Whole-flower hops

Unprocessed hop cones add floral definition without dominating the malt.

02

Natural carbonation

Container conditioning creates a fine, rounded texture.

03

Malt and dry finish

Maris Otter and caramel malt provide depth; lager yeast and rock candy keep the finish crisp.

Inside the glass

More malt depth than an industrial lager, with a precise dry close.

BAIRD NUMAZU LAGER sensory profile

Apricot and floral notes sit over toast, biscuit and orange. The palate is soft and rounded, then turns dry with measured bitterness and a crisp finish.

AppearanceColour

Amber-gold with natural haze and a lasting off-white head.

AromaNose

Apricot, flowers, toast, biscuit and orange.

PalateTexture

Rich malt, gentle natural carbonation and measured bitterness.

FinishLength

Dry and snappy, with citrus and nut accents.

At the table

An amber lager with enough malt for a wide table.

Its food compatibility reaches from grilled Japanese dishes and fried seafood to modern Thai cuisine and barbecue.

Yakitori and teriyaki

Toast-like malt follows char while bitterness tightens sweet glaze.

Modern Thai dishes

Malt sweetness cushions spice; natural carbonation carries complex seasoning.

Grill and barbecue

Caramel malt connects with browning, and the dry finish cuts fat.

Protecting quality

Keep it cold, then allow the amber lager to open in the glass.

Keep refrigerated around 3–4°C and serve at 8–12°C. Natural conditioning gives the beer a fine, rounded texture.

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.
