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. Tropicalia, Classic City Lager, Automatic, Athena, Cosmik Debris, Tritonia, and Bibo are year-round beers and are joined by many seasonal and limited release 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.

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

Curbside pickup through the brewery's drive-thru is offered during the Covid pandemic.

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