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.

7.4/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 7 Flavor 8 Texture 8 Overall 7.5
16 oz. can. Aroma is vanilla, chocolate, guajillo/ chipotle. Flavor shows me vanilla and chocolate throughout with a mild pepper heat in the finish. Bourbons also hair but mild. Body is thick with an oily texture. Viscous. 14.5% is noticeable but not in your face.

Brown color. Alcohol aroma. Flavor is malt sweetness, alcohol bite, and a touch of fall spice to mellow it out.

Can from the Drop, the beer store next to Eavesdrop: pours orange with a white head. Aroma is mellow tropical fruitiness and a distinct light maltiness. Clean and fruity without being too sweet. Fairly dry and not very bitter.
