Flying Heart Brewing & Pub- Shreveport

Drinking a local Louisiana craft brew in a refurbished firehouse is — pardon the pun — too hot of an opportunity to pass up. Flying Heart Brewing is a brew pub situated in a historic 1952 fire station and is home to six distinctive brews and a tasting room that’s bringing crowds to the heart of Bossier City.

Like many of the craft brewing businesses popping up around Louisiana, Flying Heart is the product of passionate home brewers who wanted to turn their hobby into a profit. Three couples came together to make Flying Heart happen, and today they make up part of a growing group of intrepid entrepreneurs revitalizing Bossier City’s downtown.

At Flying Heart, you’ll find beers that include varieties you’ve probably heard of and at least one or two local flavors you’ve probably never tried. Start out with the Firehouse Blonde or Louisiana Amber, milder, light-bodied ales that are perfectly suited for daytime drinking on Flying Heart’s spacious tasting room patio. The 6 of Hearts Golden Ale is another light, warmer weather-appropriate beer, notable for its slight bitterness.

Bolder brews include Milk Maid. It’s a maltier beer that pairs well with desserts. Fans of more adventurous, powerful malt-heavy varieties should look to the Black Heart ale, and beer lovers who aren’t afraid of a wee bit of whiskey will love Barrel 52, a porter that is infused with Bourbon-soaked oak.

Visitors can find all of Flying Heart’s beers only at its brewpub — straight from the source. While you're there, order lunch or dinner from its pizza kitchen, and check out its craft cocktail menu. Keep up to date with what’s brewing
