This is my best option to stop for Creature Comforts, Burnt Hickory or Orpheus. Beside filling growlers at Tap It, is there a good bottle shop or Kroger to score some bottles or cans? Trip from Fla will be interstate to Gainesville and on to Rabun County. Thanks for any help.
Hometown Spirits in Flowery Branch has a great selection of things. You can definitely find Burnt Hickory and Orpheus there. They had Athena in when I went on Tuesday, but I didn't see any Tropicalia. Link to there Facebook page here.
Someone would have to verify if they carry those packages but possibly Beverage Superstore just south of Gainesville in Suwanee or Legg's Package Store in Gainesville? I am not a local so don't take my suggestions unless a local can vouch they carry them.
Once you come through downtown Atlanta, I'd suggest stopping at Greens Beverage (2614 Buford Hwy, Atlanta, GA.....Buford Hwy exit off 85 North, a couple miles to store, cross Lenox Rd, store about 1/2 mile on left around curve, sneaks up on you, easy to get back on interstate). I'd say they will have better selection for Creature, Orpheus, and Burnt Hickory than stores farther north and into Gainesville. Tropicalia will be hard to find in cans, you might get lucky in a Kroger, but I do see it on TapIt list as of today. Orpheus Transmigration disappears quick too, but you shouldn't have too much trouble finding other CC, Orpheus, or Burnt Hickory (check bottle dates if buying bombers of hoppy stuff).
