    Creature Comforts is about to hit our first anniversary and we wanted to have a special day to celebrate on April 25 at our brewery. The glassware we’ll have available that day will be commemorative stemware and will be $25 per glass. The tour will be 11:30a-2:30p, which should also let you guys go to the GCBG festival which is next to our brewery should you a be a beer olympian… that is all of you.

    Here is our tentative draft list for that day, I’ve tried to include details on beers you may not be familiar with:
    1. DaySpring [Grisette]
    2. Bourbon Barrel Aged Koko Buni
    3. Koko Buni (these are the last kegs until next year)
    4. Southerly Love
    5. Athena
    6. Reclaimed Rye
    7. Bibo
    8. Tropicalia
    9. Cosmik Debris [DIPA]
    10. The Curious no 2 [Our GABF bronze medal beer]
    11. The Curious no 3 [100% brett bourbon barrel fermented ale w/ blackberries]
    12. The Curious no 4 [Blended Maple Bourbon Barrel Stout]
    13. Reminisce [Saison]
    14. Reko Reclaimed Rye
    15. Tritonia
    16. Athena Paradiso
    17. Automatic [Pale Ale]
    18. Mac’s Maple [imperial stout w/ BBA Mac's Maple Syrup and 1000 Faces Coffee]
    There may be some changes or surprises…

    THANK YOU GUYS FOR SUCH AN AMAZING FIRST YEAR!

    Bottle releases are illegal in GA, for sales anyway.

    This is Georgia. Bottle releases are illegal. Yes it's $25 for an empty glass. Although you are within your legal rights not to pay for the glass and drink all of those delicious beers for free. Breweries cannot sell alcohol to anyone but a distributor. We've been trying to change the laws. If you want to read more, creature comforts' blog has a really great take on the current legislative battles.

    That $25 glass should come with 6 free 5 oz samples of beer though. At least thats how the normal tours go. Buy the glass and tour, get the free samples.

    It will be a total of 32oz of samples that we can legally offer. However, we're going to break it down into smaller sample sizes than 5oz so you can try more beers.

    Guess I'm not going to the Greenville festival. No reason to leave town when you have BA Koko Buni right here.

    This sounds amazing!

    sounds like a great event. maybe not totally off topic, but totally hypothetical. How do you think an event like this might change if the current SB 63 is signed into law?

    I could pay $50 and leave with my glass, a sixer, and 32 oz of beer in my belly?

    @compton You guys were one of my favorite breweries at Huna Day. The Southerly Love was phenomenal. I have been looking for a bottle! Hope to visit one day.

    My body is so ready for this. Hopefully I'll still be awake for the Twilight races. :confused:

    Those are the kind of changes we believe may be possible with the currently proposed bill. It is still uncertain at the capitol however so we will just have to wait and see.

    So I've taken a weekend off twice this year and the shop has fallen apart both times, but I think a third weekend is in order for this lineup. You only get to drink BA Koko Buni at the brewery on their first anniversary once.

    I will have to rethink this hard..

    It's an hour, hour and half tops. That's nothing for the lineup they have. Driving home afterwards might be interesting though.
