The reason why we are creating FlyteCo Brewing (formerly Unusual Attitude & Aero Craft Brewing) goes far beyond three guys wanting to make and serve beer for a living. We want to create an idea much bigger than that. We want to create a community where pilots and non-pilots alike can come and share their stories of adventure.

It was on my 21st birthday, April 11th, 2009, that beer and I officially met for the first time. I was living in the dorms on campus at Willamette University in Salem Oregon.

Little did I know this beaten down bodega would fuel the flame that would later ignite my passion for brewing.
