Athens, Georgia’s own Creature Comforts Brewing Company is one of the most well-known breweries in the Southeast. It just so happens to be headquartered in the place we, the hosts of this podcast, call home - which is a huge bonus for us. Typically Will, Tony & Scott talk sports - Georgia football, basketball and SEC stuff. But this episode is a bit different and definitely unique from what we usually provide you to listen to. We’re talking a little bit of sports, but mostly beer. Host, Scott Duvall (http://twitter.com/jawavifilms) sits down with CEO and Co-Founder of Creature Comforts, Chris Herron for a one-on-one interview at their local Athens offices. Scott had heard Chris speak at a local entrepreneurial event back in 2016. He found Chris’ story going from college athlete to working in sales for a major beer distributor to eventually coming back to Georgia to help co-found CCBC was a topic that WSLS Podcast listeners would surely be interested in learning more about. Plus, college football and beer go hand in hand, Right? Safe to say that most of us can related to the message that appears on the CCBC website, when it reads: CREATURE COMFORTS BREWERY - LIKE ALL GOOD STORIES, OURS STARTS WITH HUMBLE BEGINNINGS. IT IS A STORY OF FRIENDSHIP, GROWTH, STRUGGLES, CHALLENGES, SUCCESSES, DISAPPOINTMENTS, BUT MOST OF ALL ABOUT DREAMS . . . AND BEER. Creature Comforts would love to have you come out and visit the brewery, take a tour and sample some of their famous brews, such as Tropicália, Athena or Reclaimed Rye. However, there is also another project that is close to their hearts - the Get Comfortable program. CCBC is spearheading a movement to help people in need get more comfortable. They’ve partnered with United Way of Northeast Georgia to Target 5 non-profit organizations who each share a mission to end hunger, poverty, and homelessness.
