    Just heard about this beer recently and it sounds like my ideal beer and it's a local brewery which is another plus. Haven't searched for it since I just heard about it, so can anyone tell me what area this is distributed? Specifically in Georgia. Hoping to pick some up on my Atlanta trip this weekend if possible.

    You won't find any cans in Atlanta, those haven't hit here yet, only Athens, but there should be some growler stores that have it on draft. I know Ale Yeah Roswell has it on now.

    Yes, Atlanta will see it early next year when they get a handle on production. Right now Athens is eating it all up so fast there's none left to go outside the city. Good problem to have....

    It is however on draft pretty regularly around Atlanta. It is great.

    Thanks for looking for our beer! We're doubling our fermentation capacity in February. This will open up cans to Atlanta in March. We are, however, on draft in a fair number of locations around Atlanta. Best of luck searching!

    My interest in this place is piqued. Do they do growlers? Bottle anything else?

    Breweries in Georgia can't sell beer so we don't do growlers. We have cans of Tropicalia and Athena, our berlinerweisse, currently. Cans of Reclaimed Rye and Bibo, a rye amber aged on french oak and a pilsner respectively, will be coming out in the next few months as well.

    Southerly Love is our first bottle release and is in some stores still but it's selling out fast. Our next bottle release will be DaySpring which is a grisette we brewed with local wheat from DaySpring farms. It's fermented with a mix of farmhouse yeasts, one brett and one sacc, and should be in the market hopefully by late January. Somewhere in the mix there we've got two small bottle releases in our The Curious series. We'll be releasing no. 2 & 3 soonish but both are very small bottle counts.

    Picked up a growler of this beer at Gremlin in Peachtree City a month or so ago and loved it. Can't wait to see it in cans in ATL! My new summer/pool beer.

    Definitely liked seeing it in cans towards the end of football season. Athena in a can is also nice.

    Have had a few of their growlers shipped my way and I have to agree, outstanding beers. I cant wait to get my hands on some cans and bottles. Great Job Creature Comforts!

    Tropicalia is a go-to IPA for me, and one of the best I've had from our state. Definitely looking forward to Feb, so I can buy it locally without having to mule it back from Athens...

    This Tech man could make a comment or two about that. But I'm gonna play nice and wish you boys luck in the Belk Bowl. Good luck against Louisville.
