About Flying Lion Brewing

Flying Lion Brewing is a family owned brewery and taproom in the Columbia City neighborhood of Seattle. It was conceived by four beer-loving brothers and their parents, and it opened in 2014. It all started with root beer batches in the basement.

The taproom has a curved bar, a garage door that rolls up, and a heated patio. Wherever you sit, you are within sight of the brewing operation. The taproom is kid and dog-friendly.

The taproom offers 20 constantly changing beers. There is no kitchen, but you are welcome to bring your own food. You can also fill a growler, take home a 4-pack or order a liter stein.

Trivia night runs on Wednesdays. The entrance, parking lot, restroom and seating are wheelchair accessible.
