    Cranberry, Raspberry and Tart Cherry Athena Paradiso coming in February. I'm going to need to stock up to have some for the summer months.

    Going to be tough to come by. I cant wait till they are able to produce enough to meet the demand

    LOL - I just started an "anything going on in Athens this weekend" thread, then I saw this.

    When's it coming out?

    Thanks - any specific dates out there? I'll check their website. I'm just outside Charlotte - so it's a tiny haul, but always worth it. I love what CC's doing.

    I love Trappeze too - although the servers were a bit on the - uh - shitty side, last time I was there. But they were slammed - big Backstage release, multiple years of KBS, CBS & Blushing Monk.

    Nothing more specific than February. I'm sure as it gets closer more info will come on release dates.

    I hope this is OK to post here but if not please feel free to remove.

    We interviewed Creature Comforts on Beer Guys Radio last week, you can check out the show here. They talk about their expansion plans that include adding more fermenters and another brite, and then opening a second brewing facility. They also have plans to open a separate facility for their sour beers. We ran out of time for the segment we did with them on sour beer but we'll do an all sour show soon and include that.

    I'm really looking forward to this beer, I love the Paradiso series. That Guava + Passionfruit is so good.

    Did they mention if the second facility would be in Georgia or another state?

    Good luck getting any. I'm starting to wonder if Creature Comforts is worth the fuss, if they can't even mildly meet demand. I haven't seen an IPA but once in ATL. C'mon!

    So it's Creature Comforts fault their beer is popular? They're brewing at capacity. Deal with it or don't drink their beer, but it's a silly thing to whine about.

    Must not be looking hard enough. I can get tropicalia on the regular every week if I wanted to, and usually it's 2 days to 2 weeks old at worst.

    And I'm even south of the city..

    Any chance there is any hanging around Athens still? Are they doing a second batch of cans?

    I reached out to a few friends down in that area because I'm going to be making a trip through Atlanta, Savannah, and Charleston in 2 weeks. I was hoping I'd still be able to find some Paradiso somewhere but that doesn't seem to be the case. From what I heard it's pretty much gone off of shelves. Was told that most places do not expect to receive a second shipment. If anyone has heard otherwise, feel free to correct me.

    Drank a ton of this and Emergence at HD with no line at Creature Comforts Booth most of the day because they had the terrible misfortune to be stuck near the 3 Sons and Mazurt Booths and massive lines those 2 had all day so I honestly think people did not try and fight through that gauntlet to get to CC...their loss

    Paradiso is pretty much gone. Went fast and no second wave.

    Anywhere I can get a pour of Paradiso on tap tomorrow in the ATL area? I know I missed the cans, but it's frustrating to be in the same state (Savannah area) and not get to try most of Creature Comforts releases!

    You can PM me if you know of somewhere that has it on tap. Thanks!

    Any chance of finding Cosmik Debris cans in the Athens area on Saturday? I'll be in ATL tomorrow afternoon for the weekend and plan to hit Creature Comforts during their Saturday tour hours. It'd be great to find a 4-pack to bring home!

    sounds like Athens started getting cans yesterday and today, so you've got a solid shot.
