Birds Fly South Celebrates Four Years with Wild Times, Wild Beers

Anniversary celebrations are one of the most anticipated and celebrated events for a brewery every year. So, how can a brewery throw a safe and eventful anniversary celebration during a pandemic? Read further and learn how Birds Fly South plans to do so for their upcoming 4th year anniversary.

Birds Fly South Ale Project based in Greenville, South Carolina will celebrate its four years of business, growth, and patronage on Saturday August 29. Renowned for their “funk first” approach to beer, the multi-award winning brewery has orchestrated a dynamic yet socially distanced anniversary celebration that’s sure to be a standout event for beer lovers. The event will feature six beer releases, live music, raffles, food, a VIP session, and onsite merchandise printing.

The event will highlight 6 distinct beer releases, three of which being collaboration brews (see list below). Attendees can partake in these specialty/limited draughts, guest taps, their anniversary cuvée release “Love Birds” vintage collection flight (years 2017-20), and to-go beers, all releasing at 2 p.m. on August 29.

“We wanted to be able to celebrate with our community and our team this accomplishment for our brewery and have some fun during a time when people are craving social connection.” said co-owner, Lindsay Johnson. “It won’t be like our other anniversary celebrations we’ve had, but it still feels important for us to do something.”

“I agree,” co-owner & head brewer, Shawn Johnson stated. “Local beer is so much more to people than a just a beverage, we are here and invested in Greenville. This celebration is as much for our supporters as it is for us.”

Birds is also offering an exclusive ticketed VIP session: tickets entitle patrons to meeting the brewers of their anniversary collaborations, guided first tastes of all releases, select pours from their cellar collections, plus 2 bottled vintages (2019 & 2020) of their Love Birds cuvée anniversary release for you to take home prior to the main event.
