Angry Boy Brown Ale

The Label Speaks
This is the only Baird Beer label to have undergone a complete artwork design change from the original version.
No longer is our Angry Boy grade-school age and infuriated about yet another loss by his beloved local football team to its division archrival.
Now the Angry Boy is older and in Japan where he is growing into manhood, with intensity of purpose and unrelenting drive.

Bryan's Comment
This is sort of an autobiographical beer.
My mother often used to call me ‘Mister Intense’ or ‘Angry Boy.’
Angry Boy makes for a great beer name.
Mister Intense, though, better expresses the flavor experience you will encounter in this passionate Brown Ale.

| Malted Grain | Floor-malted Maris Otter, Wheat, Caramel, Chocolate |
| Un-malted Grain | Roast Wheat |

Bryan's Brewing Notes
Personality lies at the core of craft beer.
In my opinion, it’s the possession of distinctive personality that most distinguishes craft beer from what might be called ‘industrial beer.’
Craft beer competes in the marketplace based on the content of its character.
Industrial beer competes by being innocuous and inoffensive.
I like well-made industrial beer – always have – and happily drink my fair share of it.
But the world of beer is richer, more diverse and interesting than industrial beer would lead the drinker to conclude.
My goal as a craft brewer is to deliver beer that bursts with distinctive character and personality. Brewing beer to me is personal. I try to leave a part of me in every beer I design.
Of the hundreds of Baird Beer recipes I have formulated, none is more personally reflective than Angry Boy Brown Ale.
