Flyway Brewing Company

 

In North Little Rock in a small arts district not far from the baseball stadium. Chill vibe with a small bar and a good mix of large tables and small tables. I enjoyed all the beers I tried. The service was attentive and active. Nice variety of styles. Did not try the food.

This rating is for the Memphis location.

Freestanding commercial building on the corner a few block south of downtown. 2 glass walls gives the place an open feel. L-shaped bar opposite the entrance seats 10 with plenty of tables about the room and an outdoor patio. A dozen beers on tap, oddly no IPAs. I did not try the food.

 

 

 

 

High quality beer.
Good Food.
Nice vibe.

This brewery has been open about a year now. Waking in, the vibe is more of a modern dinner than a brewery. Not a bad thing. An open seating area with some booths and bigger low top tables. There is a long U shaped metal bar with the chalkboard tap menu behind that. An unintrusive TV above the bar. High celings, and for as open as it is, relatively quite.

They had 11 taps that ranged from a Pale Ale and Blueberry Wheet to an American Stong Ale and bourbon barrel ages stout. I was not that impresed with antthing I had. The Migrate Pale Ale was decent, as the Shadow Hands Stout. Though plenty of diacetyl in many of the beers. Some, like the stonge ale it is not that over done. Though the Free Range Brown, all I tasted was buttery diacetly. The bourbon barrel aged stout was pretty one dimensional as well. Almost like Ethonal alcohol, coffee grounds, and green peppers. There are a few oferings I enjoy here, but fairly average overall.

They have a small food menu of pretzles, sliders and nachos. The pretel was pretty good, obviously house made. The natchos all sounded good, but ended upbeing pretty generic.

Service and vibe are great. I never had an empty glass and the bartenders are knowledgeable and willing to talk shop. They do happy hours as well, and prices are pretty good to begin with. All in all, a place I like but most of the beer can be tweeked a bit. The diacetly needs to be cleaned up specifically. Other than that, a nice place for a few pints. Nothing exceptional though.
