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.

Can at home. Nose is fruity some spice. Tastes of guava but not super fruity, grapefruit, white pepper, grass. Bubblegum. Fruity finish. Some chalky notes linger. Pleasant brew.

This beer is a hazy straw color with a medium bright white head that diminishes gradually to an outer ring. Partial rings of lace. Aroma of oak, yeast, citrus and malt. Light to medium body with flavors of oak, mildly funky yeast, citrus and biscuit malt. The finish is oaky with a funky and tart lemon aftertaste. Pretty good all around.

Draft at Craft Brewed. Pours a clear light, straw color with a lingering finger of white foam. Mustard seed, dill, oak, lemon aromas. Lightly tart, honey, coriander notes on the palate. Great carbonation and creamy mouthfeel. Smooth, creamy oak, peppercorn and hay. Stellar example of a saison. I could drink this all day.
