BIRDS FLY SOUTH ALE PROJECT- GREENVILLE, SC

BIRDS FLY SOUTH ALE PROJECT- GREENVILLE, SC

On September 8th, Hoppy visited Birds Fly South Ale Project in Greenville. They recently celebrated their 7th anniversary and refer to their beer as “progressively old school.” They are primarily known for farmhouse ales and sours. While there, Hoppy sampled some beers before choosing to imbibe a Love.Birds 7, a farmhouse sour, that was brewed for their anniversary celebration. This was made blending several years of their solera program projects with the addition of a hefty dose of mango. The tart, funky base is balanced by the sweet tropical flavor of mango with a beautiful dry finish for a well-rounded beer. It is 5.2% ABV.

BREAKING NEWS: 3 FLOYDS TO OPEN TAPROOM/RESTAURANT

BREAKING NEWS: 3 FLOYDS TO OPEN TAPROOM/RESTAURANT

It is Hoppy’s understanding that 3 Floyds plans on opening a taproom/restaurant in Munster in January of 2024!

3 Floyds had closed their original taproom/restaurant early during the COVID-19 pandemic and as of December 1st, 2020, decided to close it permanently for the safety of their customers and staff.

Hoppy visited the original brewpub in September of 2018 and rocked out to Heavy Metal. The question is, will customers still be serenaded with Heavy Metal at the new brewpub?
