Yelp shows that I have checked in 22 times and have not reviewed Creature Comforts Brewing Co on Hancock Ave?!!! I will rectify this today. Yesterday was Creature Comforts Brewing Company's 12th Anniversary. We have lived here since 2016 and have NEVER missed this party. Yesterday was no exception. I like to be first in line so I will show up early to get a table. We came prepared. I had charcuterie, chocolate and grapes. We were greeted warmly and checked on frequently. We saw ppl that we know. Beer World needs you. It is imported that you support your local craft brewery. In this economic downturn, it would be terrible if this independent brewer of excellent craft beer was not available to us. Show your love. Tip big. You will not regret it. read more

Customer service drove the 5 Star rating! Specifically the greeting from the person who was situated in the Creature Comforts store adjacent to the brewery. Store sold the known Creature Comforts brands of beer -including our favorite seasonal milk stout Kona Buni, logoed shirts and accessories and my personal favorite coffee liqueur - one of their newer products. The man who worked the register area also provided samples of products. He educated on content, processes to create and alcohol volume. There was never any pressure to purchase, just the opportunity to sample and experience the brand. It did lead to a purchase that was aided by the positive interaction from this gentleman and the ability to sample beers on tap in the larger dine-in area of Creature Comforts. I did enjoy the beers too. The outdoor area looked inviting, and will likely experience the next time I'm in Athens. Our visit to Creature Comforts was a great way to celebrate my Florida Gators men's basketball win over GA on their home turf! read more

We took a short 10-minute walk from our hotel and headed in. When we arrived, we were informed we could place our order at either the inside or outside bar. We decided to go inside and check it out. This spot really feels like the beer mecca of Athens, Georgia, UGA shirts everywhere and we could tell we were in a college town. We looked over the full menu, ordered our beers, and decided to check out the outdoor patio area. It was game day and packed out there. We couldn't really find a good seat so we went back in where there was plenty of seating. Inside, there were big screens everywhere, especially one massive screen in the main area, perfect for watching the game. There were two bars and plenty of space if you wanted another beer. Everything was super clean and well-maintained, with staff constantly scanning the room and clearing empty glasses and trash quickly. There's not too much to say about this place. Overall, it's easy to see why this place is considered the mecca of UGA football and the Athens' beer community. read more

The brewery is massive with a nice clean indoor space and outdoor patio. Dogs are allowed outdoors only so please be mindful when bringing them in the heat. There are a few fans outside. This was a quick spontaneous trip so I only had one bear which was the Tsunduko which is their Japanese rice lager. I was craving a z Kieran so this was the perfect cool crisp beer to satisfy that craving. The staff was very friendly. The gentleman at the checkin was informative of the area and recommended some food places as Creature Comforts does not sell food (though they have food trucks occasionally.) 10/10 would recommend. read more

I have been to Creature Comforts a few times. I love this brewery. First off, it's HUGE. There is so much space to sit inside or even stand if you want too. For this particular visit, it was super packed, but we were still able to find a spot to sit, and there were about 10 of us. They have a HUGE menu of a bunch of different drink options. They have your regular beers, mocktails, cocktails, frozen drinks, and they even have THC beverages! It's nice to see that they have many other options besides just beer. The service is great as well too, and the entire staff is all super friendly and helpful. The establishment is also very clean too. They even have a gift store where you can buy some Creature Comforts merch. I didn't buy anything this time around, but when I came previously, I had purchased a t-shirt. The brewery is located right in DT Athens, so it can be the perfect place to go to before something or even after. read more

I am not a brewery kind of girl but I must say this place was very nice. My niece and brother loved it and their beers. What I do appreciate is that they had something that I could drink other than their beer or water. They have a little gift store and we picked up a cute little baby outfit. It was Fathers day and my brother got a free beer. The place is spacious and lots of light. We got there at 1:45 pm and by 2:30 the place was full. We were allowed to order food and have it dropped off. We had a great time. read more

This place is big (for Athens) and can hold a lot of people. They have both a large indoor space and a nice outdoor space with tables and chairs. The service at the bars is prompt and the staff is helpful. They have an awesome big (and I mean big) screen TV indoors. Now, here are my issues. The indoor space has almost no seating. They have a few tall standing only tables but good luck getting one when it's crowded as it was on the UGA v Texas game watch night. Then the only food is the food trucks outside, of which there were only two and neither one appealed to me on that night. I think the one was Mexican and the other was hamburgers. Next issue was how they serve the beers. I don't know if it's always this way, but on that night, they were only serving in plastic cups. no bottles or cans. So I was disappointed with that. It's just a different experience drinking out of a plastic cup. Finally, the biggest disappointment was their lack of TVs to show the game. As I already mentioned, they have one huge TV indoors, but that's it. Yeah you can watch it, but people are gonna crowd around it and it would be nice to have TVs near the bars so when you turn away from the TV, you can still watch the game. And then the outdoor experience was much much worse. They had one small TV that was mounted in a position where only half of the seats could see it. They easily had room for a second TV at the absolute minimum. But really they should've had anywhere from 4 to 8 TVs if they're gonna be of the same size. It clearly wasn't set up for a game watch viewing experience in any Case. To me that's an epic fail. So while the beer may be good, the overall experience is definitely lacking and I just don't understand it. Why would they even have a game watch party with that kind of set up?? read more

Great atmosphere. Perfect place for working professionals. Also great for date nights. Not too crowded, not too loud.

Big space and they are big on supporting local community. They have farmer's market on Wednesday evenings but i havent gotten the chance to go yet. The drinks are nice. Bathroom clean. Lewis at the front is very helpful! read more

Not only a great selection of beverages but seating as well. Enjoy the outdoor garden area or the larger indoor space with direct views of the brewery operations. Plenty of space for events and the keg tables are cool. Need something. To take home they offer plenty of room for easily 200 people. read more

Overall: really spacious indoor and outdoor seating/ open bar areas. The beer selection is wide ranging but also insanely good. Even have a few specialty drinks! Service: you walk in and they check your ID/can put your card on the tab. Then you walk up to either of the counters indoor/outdoor to grab your beer. Surprisingly not too busy on a beautiful Saturday but plenty of reason to go back to try different beers! read more

What a fabulous place!! Now while there is not food for sale there may be a food truck in proximity or their amazing farmer's market!!! I have never seen such amazing vegetables on shelves in years! But the brewery... gorgeous yet very large. It seemed family friendly but again it was during the farmers market also. They have a great selection and merch for sale. I got the flight. They are up there as far as good local beers that everyone should know. read more

Came here for the Athens farmers market and was pleasantly welcomed. The ambiance was great- there was live music that was suitable for all ages in a neo funk soul style. There was a great taco truck as well as other fares to enjoy. You get a meal "dollar" for every beer purchase too! I recommend the chocolate chip cookies from the bakery vendor. Also, the Tropicalia IPA was a standout! I would definitely return and try more seasonal drinks. read more

I've been wanting to try Creature Comforts Brewing for such a long time! Of course part of that is wanting to go to Athens as well for it's rock music background (R.E.M., B-52's). I know those band's heyday are past but the desire to go remains. At last I did get a hold of some Creature Comforts beer(got a small taste of Athens but not enough. Another time.) Awaken, My Love was the beer I had from Creature Comforts. An Imperial Stout with chocolate, cinnamon and coffee flavors. This beer was so good. I rate beers on Untapped and I issued a five star rating which is very, very rare for me to do! That tells you just how much I loved this beer! Unfortunately I didn't get to try anything else (Awaken, My Love did have a 13% ABV) but I'm pretty confident that any of this brewery's beer would be excellent since I was in such awe with the one I had! read more

My favorite brewery in Athens! Large variety of beers that change often enough to try something new when you come. Big fan of the neon cylinders. All the bartenders I've met are super friendly and helpful with recommendations. There's a ton of indoor and outdoor seating (with some heaters). Parking can be kind of tricky, but there are some cheap places if you're willing to walk a few blocks. read more

Cool brewery that captures the essence of the University nearby. Frat houses, Dawg statues large screen sporting events (football) and really cold delicious craft beer in downtown Athens. I enjoyed the Feel Free, bursting with flavor and just the right chill. I sampled the Imperial Trop Haze. It was a great a IPA but I only had time for one brew this day. read more

Creature Comforts is a great local brewery located in downtown Athens within easy walking distance of nearby restaurants as well as the Iconic 40 Watt Club. Creature Comforts puts out numerous very good year round and seasonal brews. My favorites are their Classic City Lager and their Tropicalia India Pale Ale. A friend who lives in town knows I generally hate IPAs, but recommended it nevertheless. I'm glad he did. Once I tried it, I ordered it at lots of places around town. Food is not served, but food trucks set up shop on the grounds often from what I'm told, and there was a food truck on site when we visited on a Sunday afternoon. The tap room is very nice with lots of seating, and their is a nice, spacious covered patio for those who enjoy sitting outdoors. The staff were welcoming and friendly. It's a good place I will happily return to when I'm in Athens again next year. Cheers! read more

I like this place. Great atmosphere. They have a farmers market on certain nights. Live music. I like how they run a tab for you as soon as you get there. Makes it easy. I had a soda. Strawberry habanero. I liked the little bite at the end. I'm a fan read more

Really not a fan of having to do street parking, the chaos of entering the establishment, that they take your card even before you go in, and the lack of menus available to select your beer. Beer is also almost triple the price of the other breweries. The beer is good, but I would opt for somewhere else. read more

August 23, 2020 After visiting Fainting Goat Vineyard last month--the owner is a partner in this brewery---it only made sense to pay tribute to his ownership interest in Creature Comforts Brewing while we were visiting Athens. Upon entering our host asked for a credit card at the greeting table to minimize contact during COVID times, which was good. Our host led us to a table outside on a hot summer afternoon and we ordered a couple of IPAs: I had the Lupulous,and Nicole the Tropicalia. The outdoor seating area is fantastic with several tables under an amazing wooden canopy. There is also a large beer hall indoors which was not currently being utilized. The beers were great and helped us develop an appetite for dinner. Look forward to coming here again to try some of the other offerings. read more

I've always loved Creature Comforts breakout beer, Tropicalia. So when I had the opportunity to stop through Athens for the afternoon, I had to hop on it. Prices aren't cheap compared to other breweries I've been to, but the menu is vast and the taps are plentiful. I especially liked the selection of mixed beer drinks, also known as "The Curiosity Bar" menu. I tried the Athena Infusions and finally got my hands on Tritonia. The interior of the brewery is well lit and HUGE! There are two bars you can get your drinks from - and a gift shop where you can pick up Creature Comforts schwag. I bought a Creature Comforts tank, which was made on a super soft American Apparel tee. I will definitely be back next time I'm in Athens! read more

Creature Comforts is the best brewery I've ever visited. This place is the absolute gem of Athens, GA, and it proves that an establishment in a semi-rural, southern college town can compete with the best of the best anywhere else in the world. Every single beer is delicious, it's incredibly affordable, the ambience is cool and sophisticated, and the service is solid even though it's always packed. If the management reads this, please keep doing what you're doing and innovating new, fun brews. I'll be your advocate forever. Lastly, I beg you Creature Comforts... BRING BACK GAUCHO DE LA PLAYA it's my all time favorite beer read more

We had a great afternoon at Creature Comforts. The staff was very friendly. We got there right at opening and opened a tab. They had many options of beers along with "fusion" drinks to chose from. I ended up trying a few with a flight. The layout of the brewery is very open and industrial. They also have an outdoor area with games to play while you drink. There is plenty of sitting room if you go with a group and smaller tables if you are on a date. There is a little store off from the tasting area where you can purchase cold beer to go and clothing items. We will definitely be back when we return to Athens! read more

Went to Athens for a beer event. Stopped in at a number of local breweries. This one was on my list. Asked for a flight. They will do 5 oz pours. They don't do flights cause they don't have the flight holders. (A small tray would do fine) Or the "paper and stuff to write it down". Really??? Maybe try an erasable pen on the 5 oz glass? So 5 oz pours it was. Since they're not dog friendly inside. Even though they have concrete floors and no food we had to sit outside in the cold with our dog. And walk back and forth to get two 5oz pours as we drank them. No little glass holders.... Smh We thought ok, they have lots of heaters on their huge covered patio and tvs to watch the nfl playoff game. Tried to start up 2 of the heaters, but they wouldn't stay lit. Since no one comes outside to check on you, we tried about 6 heaters. All but one were out of gas. That one ran out after about 20 minutes. Went inside to see if they had extra tanks, and wouldn't ya know there's a tank storage out back with about 20 tanks. You'd think someone could replace the empties. Then it's game time. I think there were 6 large screen TVs outside. They had basketball on. So once again we went back inside, and asked if they could put a tv on the play off game. They said no, that the basketball was a finals game too and we could go to "one of the many other sports bars in the area if we wanted to watch football " Wow, ok, bye then! We went around the corner to a tiny place called Normaltown Brewing. Not only did they have the game on their 2 big TVs over the bar, but it was on even though they were having a private neighborhood meeting with lots of people inside. And were dog friendly and helpful even though they were packed! Id also suggest going to any brewery in the area other than creature comforts just like the employee suggested. Actually they should change their brewery name to creature uncomforts!!!! read more

Love the atmosphere at Creature. They have a pavilion for outdoor seating. The beer is just not my favorite. We had a flight with Pearson, Rhonda, Common Things, and Tastes Like Flowers, and we really didn't like any of them. Tropicalia is their really popular beer, but it's too hoppy for me. My husband got the Athena Paradiso: Passion Fruit & Guava, which was just okay. My brother-in-law got Automatic and he said it was fine. Their beer is also pretty expensive, relative to other breweries. It's a fun place to chill in downtown Athens. It's certainly more convenient and central than the other breweries in Athens, but in my opinion, it doesn't have the best beer. read more

Great place to get a casual beer in Athens. A very chill place that you can hang out at for a while and enjoy the outside.

I have been a huge fan of CCB for years since I had my first Trop and Athena years ago. Their consistency in the core beers, execution of special beers in multiple styles, and innovation of new beers keep CCB one of my most sought after breweries. Of course seeing CCB in The Avengers was so cool! You have to look up the story on how that happened! The anniversary parties are known for having some of the best unique bees and for showcasing their best beers of the past. I haven't been to one yet but it is one of the brewery anniversary parties that I really want to go to. Athena is one of the best beers after a hard afternoon of yard work and the variants of Athena are some of the best fruited sours I have had. I will always be a Tropicalia fan as it is one of the best beers to drink on a regular basis as a with food beer or an afternoon happy hour at home treat. Check them out on social media to keep up with what they are coming out with next! read more

Loved this place! The lady at the door (Katherine) was funny and very inviting. The beer was very good (one of the specials on the back, can't remember the name).

On our trip to Athens, my husband was told to check out this brewery. We had some good inside information. We sat out side although I did see maybe two tables inside. It was very covid aware. We had a nice seat in the shade and enjoyed an ipa each. Two different types. They were both good. We only had a limited time and had to drive but I could have stayed and knocked back another one. Or three.... read more

What a great brewery in the heart of Athens!! My friend and I stopped here while on a recent visit to the area and felt the need to definitely check this place out while brewery hopping. It was game day in Athens but we arrived at a quieter hour. It's in an old Michelin Tire building which was cool. The brewery is large and can accommodate many so if you want to bring a big group, you are good to go! There are two bars on the inside and they serve outside in the parking lot for events as well. Plenty of seating including couches, high tops and seating along the windows to people watch (my preference!). Cute little gift shop and refrigerator section up front for your to-go items. Very friendly staff all around. The beers selection is great! They had something for everyone during my visit. I enjoyed two sours and two IPAs in a flight. All were excellent. I really should have taken home a 6 pack of Tritonia (a cucumber lime gose) because it was the most perfect drinkable gose I've had in a long time. Definitely a brewery I will stop at again next time I am in the area. read more

Have seen their beers so many times in the stores and finally decided to drive all the way from Atlanta to Athens to try their other beers. Totally loved the ambience and the beers. If you like malt-flavors or something toasty, definitely go for The Silent World. Fun Fact: Tropicalia is the beer that Thor gulps in The Avengers End Game. Personally didn't like it, I guess it a beer only for Asgardians read more

These guys make good beer. Big fan of Tropicalia. I stumbled on the brewery while dropping off the kid at UGA for some competition. Definitely felt like a kid in the candy store. Picked up a case from this brewery and they can only sell you a case. Nevertheless, I put 4 6 packs in my car and since they had limited edition stuff, I got to try the porter and a rye cask brown ale. In the end, I still prefer Tropicalia. Definitely good beer. read more
