Flying Fish Brewing Company is a small craft beer brewer founded in Cherry Hill, New Jersey (approximately seven miles east of Philadelphia) in 1995. It was first founded on the World Wide Web, allowing beer lovers to participate in selecting and naming the types of beers the brewery would produce, volunteer as taste-testers, or even to sign up to be a brewer.

Having tripled their capacity since 1996, Flying Fish is now the largest of the craft brewers in New Jersey. The four year-round styles [Belgian Abbey Dubbel, HopFish IPA, ESB (English Special Bitter) Ale, and XPA (Extra Pale Ale)] are supplemented by a variety of seasonals, some only rarely available.

Regular seasonals are the Oktoberfish, Farmhouse Summer Ale, and Grand Cru Winter Reserve. The latter two are bottle-conditioned, and the Grand Cru is unique and especially well-received among those not typically fond of "winter" beersFact|date=February 2007. Less available (often only in growlers at the brewery) are Big Fish Barleywine, a Coffee Porter, Love Fish (a cherry-infused Belgian Abbey Dubbel available around Valentine's Day), Black Fish, and Imperial Espresso Porter.

In the summer of 2004 there was a blueberry flavored Abbey Dubbel available only in a 1/6 keg to recipients of the brewery's mailing list. Demand for that brew's return exists, but bottling is unlikelyFact|date=February 2007.

First in the region to be featured at the Great British Beer Festival, Flying Fish has also been featured at the Oregon Brewers Festival and Canada's Biere de Mondial Festival and has also won several medals at both the Real Ale Festival in Chicago and the World Beer Championships.

Flying Fish recently added a new bottling line, doubling their bottle speed to over 160 bottles per minute.
