    Finally got a chance to visit after a year or so wanting to. Large clean facility that also had live music playing in the evening that I was there. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable. I sat at the bar which was about 1/2 full when I arrived and grew to about 2/3 or so full while I was there. I had a flight that was based on recommendations from the bar staff and then a glass of my favorite. The prices were fair and also I saw several people order a half a glass which was 1/2 the price which I thought was an awful idea. The pours both full, half, and flight glasses were definitely full to the top and definitely a good half plus. Will definitely return to try some different varieties

    Thanks, balloon guy!

    Great space, but a bit of an odd layout. Likely due to Georgia's bass-ackward brewery regulations. You have to purchase a ticket and go redeem the ticket at the bar for your beer. Then, take your beer back across to the gathering space. Okay, no big deal - get a few Fitbit steps to earn those suds. Went once with my parents and had fun tasting their beers. The dunkel was our favorite. That was probably a 4.5 experience. Nice folks and pretty good beer. Last time we went was for family game night/ movie night just before Christmas. Great concept - just not very well executed. They had a balloon guy which the kids seemed to enjoy. And maybe I did, too! Nice open space with picnic tables, but really far from the source of the beer. And remember, you have to go buy a ticket then go get the beer from the bar on the other side of the building. They had darts and maybe 5 board games, most of which were for very young kids. We waited our turn for the Sorry! Game and played while we drank our beers awaiting the start of the movie. There was plenty of room for a few corn hole boards... They had a popcorn machine, but that was the only food available. We asked in advance about food and they said we could bring something in with us. Not a lot of options for carry out food in Greensboro. The market/deli they recommended had already closed (it was 5:00pm!). So, we went to Holcomb's BBQ - they were having some sort of ventilation issue and it smelled horrible in there with the windows all fogged up. - next time, maybe you could order a bunch of pizzas and sell slices or something. Or have a food truck parked outside? Or Grill some hotdogs? Then the movie started - the sound quality was horrible. I went and asked if he could turn it up... "it's up all the way. We aren't a movie theater." Wow. We went home and watched Elf on DVD. So, anyway, I hope they get the bugs worked out of hosting events because it is a great space and could be super cool! The beer is also good! It would be awesome if you could actually purchase beer in the event space...

    Really enjoyed our time at Oconee Brewing. The beer and the atmosphere were wonderful!

    Two round disks on the left are from the original building (old mill). Plenty of picnic tables and games on right side

    Oconee Brewing is off to a great start and doing many things right as they open their brewery! I had the opportunity to visit the tasting room this past Friday on their third weekend they had opened and it was an incredible experience. Here is a recap: 1. Tasting Room To put it simply, it's the best I've ever been to. The building is an over 100 years old and they have done a great job of merging older elements that showcase the history of the building such as the old disks from the cotton mill with the new, beautiful, glass windows that divide the inside and outside of the brewery. They also had a great stereo system and a live band (jazz) when I visited to create an incredible environment. 2. Entertainment There are two dart boards and four or five corn hole sets for those who love tailgate games. There are roughly 10-12 picnic tables between the inside and outside if you want a place to sit and talk. There are also two tables set up with an array of board games so bring the kids along as well. It's also dog friendly! 3. Beer (what we all want to hear about) Many people get frustrated when new breweries don't have much to choose from, but I think this is a sign of a smart business and bright future ahead when they have limited themselves and chosen not to spread themselves too thin. It's better to have a few good/great beers than a lot of mediocre options. The IPA at Oconee was my personal favorite probably because of my propensity to drink IPAs, but the Habanero Pale Ale had a nice touch of heat on the front end of your drink to offer a unique pair. Both were very smooth even as a hoppy beer. They also had a dunkel that was a lighter option and a porter (I think a porter and not a stout) to offer a good variety across the board. If you are in the area its definitely worth stopping by to check out and it provides a nice complement to the quaint downtown of Greensboro.

    This is a great place and we will be back. Very cool atmosphere with corn hole, darts etc. The day we were there they had a food truck and live music! Also very dog friendly. Not to mention the beer was awesome!

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.

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.

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!
