Creature Comforts Brewery Tour

Their glass is $12 and the last time I was there, it was a glass shaped like this. They usually have their 4 house beers on - Bibo pilsner, Athena Berliner weisse, Reclaimed Rye on french oak and Tropicalia IPA - plus a couple extras. Tap list is here. If I remember correctly, you get 6 tickets, which is usually enough to try everything. The brewery is a converted tire shop and is spacious and well done. They also have a program where you get a discount at a number of local establishments for visiting the brewery.

 

No problem. Most glass/tours in GA tend to be $12 with 6 tickets. State law says they can only give away 32oz of beer to consumers, which I think is where the 6 ticket estimate comes from. Clearly no one is measuring volume. Terrapin gives you 8 tickets and the option to upgrade to a specialty glass instead of a regular pint glass, and is by far the most beer "32oz" will get you in the state. Don't try to do Terrapin and Creature Comforts in the same day unless you have a designated driver or go to UGA.

 

Trappeze Pub is worth a stop for dinner or beer as well if you haven't been to Athens before. I'd suggest getting to both places early. Since Athens is a college town, both breweries tend to get busy fast.

I think you're going to have a great birthday.

 

Go Dawgs! Also, if you can make it there on a Tuesday, they have a special beer on tap for curious Tuesday. I like how they give you a bracelet instead of tickets. Tickets can get lost easily. Glad people usually have leftover tickets, I take advantage of that.

 

@TonyJ815 you may want to look at this thread since you're heading up this weekend as well.

 

I'll be dropping by on Saturday! Going to hit up the 1-4 hours at the brewery, check into the hotel afterwards, then going to the GA Theater. What day(s) are you going to be there?

 

Sweet! Thanks for the heads up, man!
