Flying Lion Brewing celebrates five years, this Sunday, October 20th.
We can't believe it's already been five years since we opened our doors! We have changed quite a bit in that time, but one thing that remains true is the unwavering support we receive from our incredible Columbia City neighborhood, the greater city of Seattle and beyond. We are so honored to be part of Washington state's vibrant beer community and we look forward to raising a glass with you all for many years to come!
If you are in or around the Seattle neighborhood of Columbia City, this Sunday, then you'll want to swing into Flying Lion Brewing. Celebrating their fifth year in the neighborhood, the brewery promises live music, a collectible glass, and even special beer releases. Doors open at noon with the last cheers being held at 7 pm.
So why aren't you going? Maybe it's because the Seahawks are playing the Baltimore Ravens and you have a wicked tailgate to host. Maybe you have Halloween shopping to do, even though it's 15 days to the big day. Who knows?! But for those who either don't have shopping to do or a football to watch, the crew at Flying Lion hope you stop in. Either way, the brewers, ownership, and staff are flabbergasted how quickly the time passed.
So, you've committed to showing up now what? Let's start with the beers, namely Imperial Rye Stout, a (rumored) Rye Wine, and the glassware. Complimenting the beers, The Last Minute Maybes show up at 3 pm before departing the stage for Reposado at 5 pm.
Bring your kids, bring yourself, bring your friends for this all-ages show but bring your ID if you plan on drinking beer. And as always the main taproom will be open till Midnight, in case you want to swing in after Halloween shopping or the Seahawks game.
Flying Lion Brewing is located at 5041 Rainier Avenue South at # 106 in Seattle's Columbia City neighborhood.

About Flying Lion Brewing
Flying Lion is a family operation in Columbia City, Seattle, conceived by four beer-loving brothers and our parents. It all started with root beer batches in the basement and dinner-table discussions about beer flavors and hop utilization. Years, beers, and many late nights later, we built the brewery we’d always dreamed of right here in south Seattle.
After opening in 2014, we’ve welcomed a few more craft-beer-loving people to the team, grown out of some of our old 3 bbl fermentors, added a bunch of taps, and started shipping our kegs around the city. We hope you’ll join us soon on this adventure we call Flying Lion Brewing!
UPDATE: A misprint of this article made a reference to a brewery called Five Lions in both the headline and the body of this story. The name has since been corrected to Flying Lion.
