Creature Comforts Brewing Co.

Two UGA Alumni returned to Athens and renovated the former Snow Tire building in downtown Athens into a go-to spot for fine craft beer. Bibo, Tropicalia, Reclaimed Rye and Athena are year round beers and are joined by many seasonal brews.

There is an expansive outdoor patio.

Tours are offered during operating hours, free of charge. Visitors may also purchase beer by the pint in the tasting room.

Pints start at $5, and Creature Comforts also offers flights and samplers for those wishing to try several of their draft options. Customers can buy a variety of Creature Comfort staples and limited releases and can take up to 288 ounces of canned or bottled beer home with them.

Curbside pickup is offered during the Covid pandemic.

In August, 2020, Creature Comforts announced its expansion to Los Angeles, slated to open in summer 2021. The Los Angeles brewery is in partnership with award-winning film director Joe Russo, who became Creature Comforts' #1 fan while filming Avengers: End Game in Georgia.
