Memphis Made Brewing Company, the Bluff City’s newest local brewery, is brewing several different beers for their debut this weekend.

Co-founder and head brewer Drew Barton and Andy Ashby will tap their first kegs at the Cordova Flying Saucer at 5:30 p.m. Friday, then they will head to the Downtown Flying Saucer at 8 p.m. On Saturday Memphis Made will distribute beer to Young Avenue Deli, Aldo’s Pizza Pies, Bardog Tavern and the Slider Inn.

You can also find Memphis Made beers at the upcoming Cooper-Young Regional Beerfest.

South Cooper Saison and Parkways Pale Ale are the first 2 beers to debut along with other inaugural brews, including a porter and a red ale.

South Cooper Saison, a brown saison, is composed of a simple malt bill of pale and chocolate malt, allowing the complex flavors of the yeast to be the shining star, most notably its peppery spice. Parkways Pale Ale is a distinctive American Pale Ale. Nugget hops deliver an initial herbal punch, while Delta hops round out the flavor and aroma with their spicy and slightly sweet citrus notes.

“The Parkways are one of the original boundaries of Memphis and the name is an acknowledgement of our local roots,” Ashby said. “Drew and I have been planning Memphis Made for quite a while. Now that we’re brewing, we can’t wait to bring more fresh, local beer into the market.”

Memphis Made Brewing Company is a small production brewery at 768 S. Cooper, right next to the “I Love Memphis” mural at Cooper and York. The company occupies a former Keathley Pie Factory warehouse and production facility.

Adam Shellabarger with Combustion Design created the brewery’s logo while Sean Vandergriff with Vandergriff Designs is hand crafting its first tap handles. Memphis Made also used local artist Kevin Reuter for one of its first t-shirt designs. It also gives spent grains to Mathis Creek Farms in Covington, Tenn.

“Since we self-distribute, we’re only opening in a handful of bars and restaurants initially,” Ashby said. “We plan to ramp up production slowly, always focusing on quality, and expand to more local bars and restaurants in the coming weeks and months.”
