Flying Lion is a family operation in Columbia City, Seattle, conceived by four beer-loving brothers and their parents. It all started with root beer batches in the basement and dinner-table discussions about beer flavors and hop utilization led by Dad Williams, the food chemist. In adulthood we became prolific homebrewers, and now we're going pro! Growing up, Mom and Dad encouraged creativity, which shows in our ambitious beer concepts. Our parents' chemistry background also drives a detailed and experimental approach in our brewery. There was no way we were going to pass up a chance to put our cycling legs to work for the brewery, so we rely on a house-engineered, cycle-powered grain mill as the front line of our brew day. We keep track of who has milled the most grain, so get down to the brewery and get your name on the leaderboard!
