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.

From a pint can. Pours a clear gold with a small white head. Aromas are tart fruit. Flavors are sour — too much so for my taste.

Can from Tavour. Pours dark brn/blk with a large finely foamed tan head. Aroma of toffee, maple, and hints of burnt malt. Med body. Flavor is toffee, maple, hints of burnt malt. Not dry; not sticky. Burnt malt bitter. Heat can be found if sought for. Seems like it should be bigger. Decent drink.
