Drink Heroic Beer.
Flying Tiger's taproom is located at 506 N 2nd St, Monroe, Louisiana 71201. They started out with just a simple interest in bartending. This interest slowly grew however into a flourishing brewery putting out some of the best beers in Louisiana. Flying Tiger operates with a unique line up of brews.
The Flagship Series
Burma Blonde 5.1% Blonde Lager
Man at Arms 5.3% Amber Ale
Heroic Hops 5.8% IPA
A personal favorite from the Flagship selection is "Heroic Hops". We will admit some bias. Of the three styles offered in the flagship series. The general favorite at Bayou Barley is IPAs. So it is only natural that we picked Heroic Hops. This is not a world class IPA. Please do not expect that from this beer. BUT this beer is an original portrayal of an IPA. This is the classic bitter profile with citrus flavor notes through out. The aroma is solid, not spectacular, but not in any way a slouch.
The Seasonal Series
Milk Stout 6.7% Milk Stout
Warhawk 4.2% American Pilsner
We enjoyed both of the specials listed, but if we had to pick between the two. We are going to go with the Milk Stout.
Juiciana Series
Final Resting Place 8% Double IPA
Jucee 6% Louisiana Pale Ale
JUCEE is basically the beer most know Flying Tiger for. This pale ale is just PACKED with flavor. A very versatile beer that we love to throw back while grilling.
This beer won't win any gold medals, but to be honest it doesn't need to. This is in our opinion a real beer for the every day man to drink on a weekend. Enjoy!

The brewery has a nice covered patio connected to the side of the building. Making for an excellent spot the sit down and catch up with friends while enjoying a flavorful beer. We enjoyed our visit to the Flying Tiger and plan to revisit. The staff is extremely knowledgeable of their beer and very much capable of making suggestions. Flying Tiger does not sell food at the brewery so if ever in Monroe, Louisiana we recommend stopping by Enoch's pub up the road from Flying Tiger for an excellent burger. After enjoying your Enoch's burger, Flying Tiger will be the spot to fill up on beer. Expect to be greeted by friendly staff and strangers who will soon become friends. The locals who frequent are eager to talk about craft brews, sports, and just about anything you can drink to.
If you follow the Bayou Barley Instagram we try to put out some form of content daily!
One of Louisiana's better breweries!
