Creature Comforts of Athens, Ga Receives Its Tanks

Big news for the guys at Creature Comforts Brewing , as they received and placed the tanks for the brewery. In a post on its site, the brewery gives some info on why they decided on the tank manufacturer they did, the capacity they feel the system can handle, and the styles of beer that will be the core of the brand.  I'm very excited to try the Berliner Weisse, a bold choice for a year round lineup.  I think it goes to show how much the craft beer culture in Georgia and other places have grown to support a great style of beer like Berliner Weisse


They also discuss that they plan to package in cans in addition to kegs and have begun developing some Brett beers, as well as some barrel aged stouts.  Sounds like they have been very busy while the equipment has been manufactured.

If you are not familiar with the Athens, Ga area, the brewery will be located downtown just a few doors down from Trappeze Pub, a pub that really helped the craft beer movement get started in Georgia that is maybe (unfairly) overshadowed by better known bars in the Atlanta area.  Having as great a place as Trappeze to go to after tours with such great food and amazing selection of imports and craft beers is only an awesome bonus for those that want to visit Creature Comforts.

As those of us who have anxiously awaited the opening of new breweries can attest, they have a little ways to go yet with hooking up systems, permits, etc, but this is an exciting hurdle and one of the biggest certainly in starting a brewery.  Cheers to David and the gang on being a step closer to their dream.  And yes, gents...I'm thirsty....very thirsty
