Birds Fly South Ale Project

Progressively Old School Urban Farmhouse Brewing

Birds Fly South Ale Project | Greenville, SC

Birds Fly South Ale Project was born out of a passion project by husband & wife duo Shawn & Lindsay Johnson in 2016, and has grown to become a renowned craft beer force in the southeast. Gaining notoriety with our Brettanomyces focused saisons, hoppy farmhouse beers & sours, we’ve since grown a larger “flock” through our delicious lagers, IPAs, and barrel aging program.

Each of these bottles commemorates something. A token of friendship, a significant moment, an appreciation for one else’s craft.

Sometimes, we need to stop and remember the moments and people that have gotten us to where we are. Cheers to all of you who’ve helped along the way and cheers to a great beer and local community 🍻🖤🦅

Did someone say barrel aging?! @saisonhabit, @natewiththegoodbeer and @brettterrapin tackle this topic head-on in our latest Bird Call episode.

Watch the full video on our blog (link in bio) as these knowledgeable dudes cover the following sub categories:

• How long should you age beer?
• Is buying newly released beer better than an aged one?
• How does fermentation inside packaging work?
• How do you approach blending barrels?

At Birds, we’re passionate about using barrels in our wild beer and blending projects, both the challenges and effects it has on creating a beer. Needless to say, this is a subject we enjoy conversing about.

Craft Beer with Methodology & Funk.

Our brewery focuses first and foremost on creating farmhouse/saisons/wild beer. However, we offer a wide range of styles and truly have something for everyone. We’re constantly exploring recreating classic style beers with our own innovative techniques, resulting in complex, thought-provoking, delicious beers unlike anywhere else. Set in an urban farmhouse (just down the street from downtown Greenville), makes for the perfect setting to enjoy our multi medal-winning ales.

Funk First.

Although we continue to evolve our brewing with the latest trends and styles, we will always be funk at our core. This means laboring and perfecting the innerworkings of wild beer methods while and working with materials such as brett, open fermentation, wine barrels, just to give you a taste. What else does “funk first” mean?

Flock this way to learn more.
