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.

Customer service drove the 5 Star rating! Specifically the greeting from the person who was…read moresituated 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!

We started at the bar, where I was ready to order a couple rounds--until the bartender made it very clear that even one drink was already a burden. I've seen DMV employees bring more warmth and enthusiasm. Undeterred, we moved to the patio, where the host sat us and a waiter promptly delivered menus... and then executed a flawless disappearing act. Not a quick check-in, not a "be right back," just gone like we imagined the whole interaction. At some point it stops being bad service and starts feeling like a social experiment: how long will people sit politely before realizing no one is coming? I'd love to comment on the food, but that would've required ordering it. If the goal is to make guests feel like an inconvenience from start to finish, mission accomplished. Well done Matt.

The taproom is large with an even bigger outdoor area. Audrey was my bartender and she was fabulous. Friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. I started with a Maple Pecan Praline. It was dangerously delicious. I still had a while to wait so I go a Claw Shank Redemption (not as high octane...but also very tasty.) Audrey found me the glass I wanted and a 4 pack of the Maple Pecan to go. Right as I was getting ready to go, they were setting up for trivia. I was a little bummed that I had to leave but we had already made other plans. If I'm ever back in Athens, I will definitely come back here.

I've tried many of these beers from the store over the years, so while in town I had to try some from the source. They also have events which look cool. My brother tried the flight option, which worked as pull tickets for each sample he wished to try--and they gave him a full pour for each sample (and a to go glass), so he left with plenty of tabs left to use if he ever makes his way back to the area. I tried two different drafts and loved both of them, there's nothing on the menu not worth trying.

Both were excellent brews. Troublesome was nicely malty & roasty without being overly heavy or sweet. The hazy IPA was nicely cloudy and easy drinking. Enough funk to be tasty and not overly bitter. A live funk band and food truck completed the evening: food was awesome. I got @Homy.Made 's brisket sandwich which was quite tasty! The Original Splitz Band--"an 8-piece Motown Band featuring a mix of the classic Motown Sound, part 1970's Funk and Disco, a dash of the old-school and contemporary R&B" was true to their word and delivered a good time! Oh, and heaps of alcoholic spritz concoctions that seemed interesting (you can make up your own combo). Dog friendly! Heaps of outdoor & indoor seating.

But oh man, we have at least 4 meals off of this plate of nachos, so they can have my $24 anytime. This is one of the best plates of nachos I have ever had, and I eat mexican a lot if you look at my reviews. I think they make their chips as they are thicker than most, but have an amazing actual flavor, and the toppings are ABUNDANT. This was carne asada and it was absolutely delish. The bartender greeted us when we walked in, showed us where to order and to pick a seat inside or on the cute little patio. They brought the food out within 10 minutes and we chowed. Others around us had margarita buckets and pitchers of beer, so plenty of options. Someone was raving about a pickle margarita...next trip that is on my list. Super clean, very friendly, great food, and it is labeled vegetarian and gluten free on the menu for those of us who need that info. I will most definitely be back.

We ordered a pretty big spread of food including the dip trio, a few tacos, the brisket quesadilla, and some wings. The peach bourbon wings have a great flavor. I actually preferred those to the truffalo. The dip trio was great. The guac was very fresh and creamy. The queso had small chunks of peppers that I liked.

I washed mine down with iced tea as one does. It's a nice space. Cheers!
