E314: Taking off with FlyteCo Brewing

FlyteCo Brewing is cleared for takeoff

Denver's FlyteCo Brewing opened their first location in 2019.  Although Colorado has no shortage of breweries, owners Morgan O'Sullivan and Jason Slingsby knows there's always room for more great places to grab a beer.  Their second location will open soon, in a decommissioned air control tower.  O'Sullivan and Slingsby want visitors to see FlyteCo as their own Cheers.  Where the bartenders know your name and have a beer ready for you when you walk in.  Norrrrm!  If getting to know people isn't your thing then maybe your and your beer can spend some quality time at the on-site mini golf or bowling.

If the air traffic control tower didn't give it away, the brewery has an aviation theme.  Two of the three owners are pilots.  In addition to drop-in fishing trips (I'm so jealous) they've even flown to Western Colorado to pick up hops fresh from the farm and back to the brewery to get them in a beer in a little over an hour.  How's that for freshness?

The guys knew the way to our hearts and sent us a sample of their Tipsy Nipper, a stellar Belgian Saison.  We sample Heading 270 West Coast IPA and Ski Plane Stout as well.  We reminisced on the old days of 2014 when saisons were cool and praise the versatility of the style while pondering if getting crazy with them might make them cool again.  We even come up with a collab, look for Milky Disco DDH LactoGlitter Saison coming soon.
