Description
PROGRESSIVELY OLD SCHOOL
We make craft beer with a throwback approach. Through a combination of time-tested brewing/blending methods and modern practices, we create beer that is complex, thought-provoking, and above all delicious.
AN ALE PROJECT
We focus on truly slow beer – mainly Farmhouse Ales and Saisons in our wild brewery and lagers on our clean production side – with a passion for experimenting with other wild and traditional styles from Imperial Stouts to IPAs to Dutch Kuits.
ROOTED IN FAMILY
The name Birds Fly South is a nod to founders Lindsay and Shawn Johnson. For the last 22+ years, they lived the Coast Guard life, migrating across the country. Their family, their flock, was always looking to find their back to the south. Once they landed in Greenville, Shawn’s final station, they knew they had found home.

Apricot color. Slightly sweet wheat beer flavor with a hint of crisp citrus. Dry and crisp finish that is slightly funky. Does not have the expected banana or bubblegum aroma.

16 oz can from Tavour. From the minute I popped the top I knew this was something special. It poured out like a black oil slick while sweet notes of Mexican chocolate wafted up my nostrils. First taste yielded a silky, smooth body with equal parts sweet and roast. Mexican chocolate follows with spicy notes of chili and cinnamon and deep rich dark notes. This is just Solid throughout and well worth seeking out.
