Curious about Creature Comforts?

[chongcheesol]

Yeah I hope they bring enough of this beer to Hunahpu Day. Sounds good.

 

[Dizzydsmith]

Speaking of Huna weekend, looks like this is going to be on draft there.

I'm really surprised they aren't (at least listed so far) bringing a keg of StS... seems like it would have been a nice venue to bring one to. Of course, that assuming there is even a single keg left.

No idea about that one specifically, but the impression I've got from what some others have told me is that there is going to be a lot of beer that isn't going to be listed...

Yeah, I kind of assumed that as well. Luckily my 6'4 build was literally designed to run from station to station at beer fests. So once a little bird puts a buzz in my ear about an announced beer being tapped, I'll be there in a jiffy.

Maybe they'll bring a keg of Existence..

You keep chattin' up this speed/height thing. We'll see...

I'm definitely not the fastest, but I'm not the slowest. The key is just to be there before the keg kicks!

Btw, anyone have an update on Athena Paradiso cabs? Trying to take a case down for some buddies.

I never heard about this brewery until I entered this forum (and i read DDT threads). Is it only makes cans? And no dark beers?

They both bottle and can. They have made a stout, see the stars, and a porter, koko buni.

I'll see if I can find a can or two of the porter, Koko Buni, and somehow carve a hole in the shipper that I'm sending you.

 

[flip1]

i have feeling they make some serious brews in a good price. Some day they'll be the new Tree House?
RayP , i see you drink more Tropicalia than water, is possible? It's so good?

 

[BTyers]

Emergence shouldn't sell out, but the draft offerings may run out that day. SO you only need to show up early to guarantee a sample of draft beer. Other than that, it should be rather casual.

Personally, this is probably my favorite beer we've made. We've been sitting on the bottles since July to let the beer develop some nice complexities and I expect it to continue to increase with time. We're definitely saving a good amount for the next couple of years to see how it progresses.

As far as kegs of StS go... there is one left. There are a few of existence. Neither will be at Huna day, although we are bringing another new dark beer for hangover day. I'd expect StS and Existence to be poured on site at future events... our anniversary isn't far off and then there's curious events that are always fun. I have no idea when bottles of existence are being released. Curious 6 will most likely be released before that one.

Thanks for the support.

Suppose a guy who had Tropicali at the Brick Store in Dec 2014 and has been day dreaming about CC ever since was passing through Atlanta down 75 on his way to Florida with his family for spring break next month. Suppose said handsome guy wanted to find a quick store where CC can be bought without ruining the family vacation. Anyone know a spot off 75 that said guy might slide into real quick? Or am i a bag for asking?

 

[swortman25]

Hopping Tiger Try My Friends Growler Shop - 415 Memorial Dr SE, Atlanta, GA 30312. Close to the highway. should be able to get a growler fill at the least, maybe cans. They keep the draft list pretty up to date on their website

 

[Hopping Tiger]

Thanks!

 

[Jshari223]

Sprayberry bottle shop in Marietta gets a good bit of CC stuff as well. A little off the freeway though.

 

[Degausser]

So what's the expected bottle limit on Emergence? It was 2 for Brettomatic, correct?

Do you even state law bro? 72 oz limit, so if they use 750ml bottles as they always have, the limit can't be more than 2.

Damn, had no idea what laws applied to off premise consumption. Gonna have to bring my lady up for a couple extra bottles.

Before June 1 last year the limit was 0 oz for off premise consumption. Baby steps. And remember, you're NOT buying bottles; they are free souvenirs that you can take home as a part of the tour.

 

[Degausser]

Looks like 3/20 is the date

 

[Dizzydsmith]

Their cans really are beautiful.

Their two-toned look is so clean and gorgeous. They kill it every time.

 

[apatrick17]

Recently got some Tropicalia, Athena and Koko Buni in a trade and was impressed by all three. Definitely looking forward to trying more of their stuff. I could drink Athena by the case come summer time.

 

[TommyShitt]

Anybody wanna meet and touch tips at this? I hate being the guy pretending to enjoy looking out the window.

 

[BravoDawg]

All the TB people going should meet up at some point and touch tips. Noonish at the center of the front of the brewery by the garage doors ?

You lining up before opening?

 

[mateoloco]

I won't be there by noon if at all, but if I do go I will be wearing a TalkBeer shirt. Feel free to say hi.

I met you once at either Orpheus or Creature Comforts.

Speaking for myself, hopefully not too early... unless they announce some crazy tap list. Otherwise I plan on trying to get into Athens to park around 10:45, and walking up right as they open.

This may be a stupid question, but do you get to specify the stuff you want to take home with you at the time of ticket purchase or do you have to get in there, bang out the tour, and hope you get done quick enough to get what you want?

EDIT via Creature Comforts on Facebook: "You must specify which tour package you want and what items you would like upon entry, so, yes, you can ensure your beer is reserved at the beginning of the tour."

 

[Krokodil]

5 Points lumpkin has/had paradiso cans (behind the counter) as of an hour ago. Saw what looked like a 5 person mule group leaving as I rolled up. Don't mean to generalize and I haven't looked in the mirror today to double check but only one of them read like a mouth breathing, obsessive truck chaser.

 

[Dizzydsmith]

Think I might sit this out after seeing the pricing. I'm sure I will overspend the next week in Florida.

 

[Degausser]

That pricing is rough. I'll probably still go, but I was planning on me and the lady each doing the two bottle tour. I'm not paying $110 for 4 bottles of beer though.
