Something for everyone

Flying Heart Brewing & Pub is owned and operated by friends who share a love for creative beer, interesting people, and Northwest Louisiana. Leah Hart was getting ready to leave for an overseas deployment and Ben Hart needed something to occupy all his spare time. Ben Pattillo was just learning to brew when he decided to make it a group activity with his new friends, Ben and Leah.

After they brewed their first batch, they waited for four long weeks to try their new creation. And when the time came to tap into the brew, the group bonding activity quickly turned into an obsession. Flying Heart Brew Club was formed that same night. The moral of the story: if you want to make friends, do it with beer!

It didn't take long for the friends to drink their initial inventory, so they started brewing larger batches. They also began experimenting and creating a variety of recipes which reflected the varying flavor preferences of not only themselves, but their group of ever expanding volunteer taste testers.One night, one said "How cool would it be if we did this for a living?" In August 2014, Flying Heart Brewing was officially founded.

The group purchased historic Fire Station Number 6 on Barksdale Blvd. in Bossier City and began renovations to develop the location into the city's first brewery. From conversations around a fire pit to a fully operational brewery and tasting room, Hart and Pattillo opened the doors to Flying Heart Brewing in 2015 and have been welcoming beer lovers in ever since. Now with a staple line-up of 7 different styles and a variety of seasonal brews, Flying Heart Brewing is looking forward to what's next.

Be on the look-out for expansion plans in the near future!
