Located in the former Merkl’s garage at 4499 West 38th Avenue, FlyteCo is an aviation themed brewery designed for pilots by a pilot/architect. Rob Forslund the owner of Chord Design Studio has been involved in aviation his entire life. This 4,500 square foot space incorporates all aspects of aviation from salvaged plane parts, runway striping, and steel Marston mats which were used as temporary airfields during WWII. The signature feature within the space if a full scale replica of a fuselage that is reminiscent of the golden area of aviation when planes like the Douglas DC-7 and Lockheed Constellation were transforming the world of air travel. The fuselage is complete in every detail from the perforations in the steel frame, scale windows, and bench style seating which take on the contemporary feel of the era.
