Flytes Brewhouse

Flytes Brewhouse is proudly owned and managed by John and Patricia (Trish) Nelson. John is a veteran of the United States Marine Corps and is a former police officer. No, he doesn’t always wear a uniform, and in fact, he’s also owned his aircraft fabrication business for 21 years — hence “Flytes”!

John began brewing beer in 1995 while in the Marines and stationed in San Diego. Trish worked in banking for 31 years, retiring at the senior vice president level, then consulting for the last seven years. A native of Michigan, she yearned for more than the corporate life, so early in 2018, she and John made one very big decision. They moved from the West Coast with one goal top of mind: opening this brewery.

You’d better like it or else. (Just kidding.)

So here we are. We think our aviation theme helps Flytes take off as a fun gathering place. We love when our guests strike up conversations — please don’t strike our other guests — with the people sitting next to them. How about right now?
