Birds Fly South Ale Project Announces Closure

From Birds Fly South:

Good evening Flock,

Shawn and Lindsay here, and there’s no easy way to say this, but with a heavy heart and utmost sadness, we must announce Birds Fly South Ale Project taproom and on-site production will be closing after our final jazz event on October 10th.

As we look back on these past 7 years, we have a lot to be proud of and it’s only upon reflection that we realize what we’ve accomplished.  We have had a wonderfully fulfilling and dynamic time getting to know everyone not only in our community but also everyone that traveled in from across the world to raise a glass in the Birdhouse.  The community welcomed us with open arms and we made it a point to give back to it as much as possible.  The Flock is what kept us pursuing greatness as we focused on quality, award winning beer.

We wish that this was a fairy tale ending, but recognize all good things must come to an end.  Timing is everything, and we embarked on an expansion to increase our taproom sales that have taken a hit over the last year.  We don’t regret that decision, only the way we went about it.

The silver lining is that we are able to step away from the stress of running a business to have more time to focus on our family.  This is our opportunity to embark on a new adventure and enjoy a new pace of life.

We have had the opportunity to let the staff know and have waited long enough to go public as they secure positions elsewhere.  We are happy that they will be here until the end, something that continues to melt our hearts.

Over the next few days, we want to see everyone come in and buy us out of beer.  We plan on extending hours, offering discounts and will continue with all the events we have planned.  Watch our stories as more information becomes available.

Sincerely,

Shawn, Lindsay, and The Flock
