Flying Lion Brewing

LIGHT BEER FEST!
Thursday, July 2nd & Friday, July 3rd
10am to midnight both days.

To celebrate the glory that is summer in the PNW, we’re bringing back (the 3rd Annual) Light Beer Fest! It’s the real deal. Everything is so intensely… light. And crispy. And fresh. AND, with special commissioned human-artwork from one of our favorite humans (and genius behind our very 1st Dark Beer Fest!) - Adrienne

Yes, we’re the home of Seattle’s Dark Beer Fest. Which mean’s we need to balance the cosmic scales by bringing you 2 days of light beer as we mark the beginning of Summer. Each day will feature a different lineup of all-light options from us and our local beverage friends. Enjoy a variety of Witbiers, Altbiers, Kölsches, Pilsners, Belgian-styles, and of course a wide variety of lagers! No tickets or reservations are required; all seating is on a first-come, first-served basis.

Annual Light Beer Collaborations! - We joined up with FOUR different breweries this year to brew FOUR different collabs just for Light Beer Fest:

Heated Rye-Valry (Spelt/Rye Lager) with Barley POP! Brewing & Bakery
Dusty Roller (Kentucky Common) with Volition Brewing Co.
Rooted (Sweet Potato Rice Lager) with the____basement at 23rd Ave Brewery
MCM Helles with The Good Society Brewery & Montana Craft Malt

And don’t forget the fabulous PNW craft maltsters who supplied us with 98% of the grain used in these beers! LINC Malt Cold Stream Malt & Grain Co.

Very special guest taps from:

Machine House Brewery
Outer Planet Brewing
Obec Brewing
Alpenfire Cider
Sage Rat
Timber Ginger Beer
Project 9 Brewing Co.
Four Generals Brewing

SEE YOU THERE!

Hey!  Did you know we have a parking lot!?  In Seattle!  For free!  Continuing with our virtual tour:

PART 3: THE PARKING LOT (and other convenient methods to travel here)

It was not on our must-have list when we hunted for our location, but it sure does make life easier sometimes.  Parking lots are agents of utility, and this one has been just that (if you were here during the pandemic, you’ll understand the bittersweet memories we have about drinking beers under a giant circus tent).

Looking for a keg?  Or a case of cans?  No need to block traffic or make beer-pickup a workout.  Just snag a (free) spot right out front.  Stop to smell some of our native-landscaping flowers and grab some ice cream and samosas from our neighbors!

Don’t want to drive?  We can understand that.  We’re short stroll from the Columbia City train station and could roll a can to the closest bus stop.  Plan a visit!  Or don’t and just hop on a train/bus.  They both roll through every 10 min or less!

Hey-o!  If you’re heading to the WA Brewers Fest tomorrow (Sat, 6/13) - LET’S PARTY!

We’re packed up and ready to pour, see you in the sunshine!  At last check there are a few General Admission tickets left, so go get yourself one!

What’s this, Patio Chat at FLB? Thu 7-8:30pm come hang with Doug Williams, FLB co-owner & #1 Dad! Beer included! It’s going to be educational, relaxed, and fun.

Come drink/chat beer with us!

Hello!  We got a slew of new followers recently so we’re bringing you a multi-part virtual tour!

PART 2: THE RESTROOM

Say what you will about the restroom being stop 2 on the tour, but restrooms are a natural, integral part of breweries.  It’s just the way it is...

Since you’ll inevitably spend some time in this room when you visit us, we wanted to make sure it had class.  Some notable features:

1. No code or key.  You don’t have to tell us when nature calls.  We trust you can handle your business on your own.

2. Clean and efficient (that’s kinda our thing...) - we recently tiled the whole dang thing so we can regularly spray it all down and out.  And, it has an exhaust fan.  That actually works.  Because not everybody drinks beer, but everybody... well, you know...

3. Don’t want to stand awkwardly in line?  If the light is green, saunter on back!

Curious about those $2 beers?  Text LINK to 206.210.1103 to sign up for new beer notifications (then show us you got the msg and we’ll pour you a full pour/pint for 2 bucks, within 24 hrs of when it was tapped)

Apparently we caught your interest with $2 beers. Since there are quite a few new followers around these parts, we thought we’d do a a little multi-part virtual tour.

PART 1: THE TANKS!

This is our original brewhouse. At times, it is undersized, but necessity is the mother of invention (and repetition makes perfect). We have tweaked, cut open, welded back together, nudged, dialed, and polished every inch of this thing over the past (nearly) 12 years.

Our goal is to brew the best beer possible and our commitment is to continue serving AND producing that beer in the South Seattle neighborhood that has accepted us as family. We’re not going to tell you it’s easy (triple brewdays to fill a single fermentor, IYKYK...), but we’re proud of our ability to serve up perpetual refinement and variety.

This is not a ‘normal’ microbrewery brewhouse. In order to keep our production safely/comfortably near (inside?) our taproom, we built a complex and highly efficient system of hardpiping, pneumatic valves, precise temperature & flow control, and bespoke equipment. The result is a brewhouse capable of consistent craft across a wide range of styles, all while getting hoses off the floor by the time we open at noon! And it looks damn good to boot.
