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.

Hay and tart lemon nose. Crystal clear amber, medium head. Dishwater, hay. Medium body, easy carbonation. Not tart, not very flavorful either. Drinks like a mild golden ale.

Bizarre. The orange peel is overpowering and has a strange herbal tone mixed with the cinnamon, vanilla, and mango. Sweet, tangy, and astringent.

$3.25 pint can, WW. Slightly hazy gold with a white head. Citrus peel, light tropical fruit, pine... I'm not getting the funk first, or much funk at all in the nose. Flavor is red grape, citrus peel, pineapple, white pepper, pine, very light funk. Decent flavor, but disappointing if you're really expecting funk first.

Pale yellow with little foam. Sour acid aroma. Flavor is moderate sour acid with a sweet, crisp finish. Nice balance, not too sour with just enough hop and sweetness.
