About FlyteCo®
Our Journey began in 2008
What started as a home-brewing kit for two engineering students, Eric and Jason, at the University of Colorado in Boulder, soon became an obsession. Their knack for precision and love for the scientific process led to some truly excellent beer. With the unwavering support of friends and family, their dream of starting a brewery quickly took flight.
Prepare for Takeoff
In 2013, fate (and a mutual love for beer) brought Eric and Morgan together as next-door neighbors. Morgan’s hospitality experience was the missing ingredient to their recipe for success. Together, they launched FlyteCo® Brewing in 2019, transforming their passion into a beloved community brewery. Since then, they’ve added more taps, more space, and a number of awards, including a silver medal for the FlyteCo® Marzen Copter and bronze medal for the P-38 Pumpkin Porter at the 2021 Brewski Awards.
About the Tower
FlyteCo® Tower: New Heights
In 2022, FlyteCo® digging into aviation roots, secured the space at the bottom of the defunct Stapleton air traffic control tower in Denver’s Central Park neighborhood.
Stapleton International Airport shutdown in 1995 when Denver International Airport opened. The 164-foot air traffic control tower and its three-story building at its base is one of the last remaining reminders of Denver’s first airport.
While the current Central Park neighborhood started to develop and build around the control tower starting in the early 2000’s, the tower itself sat vacant until 2017 when it was developed into a restaurant space, operating through the first weeks of the 2020 pandemic.
FlyteCo® is very proud to take over the base building to open FlyteCo® Tower in August 2022. As a one-stop shop for beer and aviation enthusiasts, it is an honor to serve this incredible community! Tours to the top of the Tower are now available online and 10% of FlyteCo® profits are donated to the future of aviation through local and national scholarship programs such as Young Eagles and Stripes to Bars.
