Baird Brewery Gardens Shuzenji Shares Summer Update and 26th Anniversary Festival Plans
Baird Brewery Gardens Shuzenji has shared a midsummer update on Instagram, along with plans for its 26th anniversary festival. The post highlights family and team changes at the brewery, including Summer helping out, a new team member joining, and Savannah’s maternity leave.
Hop BroI want to talk about Baird’s 26th anniversary festival today. Baird Brewery Gardens Shuzenji just shared its midsummer update along with plans to hold it from July 18 to 20.
MugiWhat! The Shuzenji brewery is that nature-filled spot, right? So this isn’t just an event announcement?
Hop BroThat’s the nice part. It’s Baird Beer’s home brewery by the Kano River, and since 2014 it’s been running as a brewery with a tasting room on site.
MugiWhoa! But when I hear home brewery, I picture somebody boiling wort in a tiny kitchen pot!
Hop BroThat image is way too small-scale. Here it means the brand’s home base, a proper brewing site where they run full production batches in a natural setting.
MugiOkay, that makes sense! And the article says Summer, the youngest of the Baird sisters, is joining for summer break. That’s ridiculously wholesome!
Hop BroExactly. She’s helping from mid-June through September, and a new team member joined in July too. You can really feel they’re handling summer as a team.
MugiAnd meanwhile Savanna is due later this month, right? She kept brewing until mid-June? That is seriously impressive.
Hop BroIt really is. And for the festival, the beer names and styles haven’t all been announced yet, but they’re planning three first-pour specials plus a new recipe from Masaki.
MugiWait, what does first-pour mean? Like opening the keg for the very first time on site? My throat is already reacting.
Hop BroThat’s basically it. It’s the first fresh pour, so the aroma and the excitement both hit differently. And with a brand-new recipe debut, that’s a big deal.
MugiA family milestone and a brewery milestone happening in the same summer is kind of perfect. In that Shuzenji setting, I want those special beers immediately.
Baird Brewery Gardens Shuzenji is Baird Beer’s home brewery, set along the Kano River in Shuzenji, Izu City, Shizuoka. The tasting room opened in June 2014, and the site combines brewing with a close connection to nature.
In the latest Instagram post, brewer Savannah shared a summer update from the brewery. She said that Summer, the youngest of Baird’s four sisters, is helping out during her final summer break from mid-June through September. A new team member also joined in July, giving the brewery extra support during the busiest part of the season.
Savannah herself is currently on leave. She noted that Baird’s third-generation junior, a baby boy, is due at the end of the month. She had continued working on brewing duties until mid-June, but is now taking it easy while looking forward to the day she can enjoy beer again.
The post also confirmed that Baird’s 26th anniversary festival will be held over the three-day holiday weekend from July 18 to 20. Three special beers will be tapped for the first time, and a new recipe from Masaki is also scheduled to appear. It is a seasonal milestone that ties together the brewery’s family story, its team, and the place itself.
The gardens setting in Shuzenji, with camping available on-site, remains a distinctive backdrop for events like this one.
