Creature Comforts Mouse Mask IPA, a nod to musician Danger Mouse

Creature Comforts Mouse Mask debuts at the brewery in Athens, Georgia on January 4th.

The latest limited edition release from the team at Creature Comforts. ‘Mouse Mask’ is an India pale ale, brewed with Simcoe, Idaho 7, and Strata hops.

Per Emily Sabula, Communications Specialist with the brewery “The name of the beer is actually not a reference to Deadmau5, but it is a nod to Danger Mouse – he spent some time here in Athens, GA – he was a radio DJ at the hyper-local WUOG, remixed some Neutral Milk Hotel, spun records at Compadres, and was plugged into the vibrant music scene here in multiple ways. Mouse Mask (a name referencing that he would wear mouse costumes during sets) is an IPA & a celebration of a favorite musician of ours & the time he spent in our little town of Athens.”

Fans wanting to get their hands on this release can reserve 4-packs of Creature Comforts Mouse Mask now on the CraftCellr phone app (opens in new window).

Style: IPA
Hops: Strata, Idaho 7, Simcoe

Availability: 16oz Cans, Draft. Brewery only release.

Editors Note: With the name “Mouse Mask” and a turn table, we thought DeadMau5, not Danger Mouse, which we, and the brewery, have clarified.

Creature Comforts to debut Classic City Lager year-round in October

Creature Comforts Classic City Lager is coming in October. Named for the brewery’s hometown of Athens, Georgia.

As expected of the style, Classic City Lager described as a “clean, crisp, and easy-drinking lager” by the brewery. The 4.2% alcohol by volume, easy-drinking beer should be pretty approachable by all beer drinkers. “There are so many options to choose from and we wanted to make a beer that is perfect for those who enjoy drinking a lower ABV pale lager. Classic City Lager is simply good cold beer,” says co-founder and head brewery David Stein.

The can’s typography was created by Athens artist Chris Collins.

Creature Comforts Classic City Lager will be available in 12-ounce can and draft at the brewery starting in October, entering distribution in November. Year-round.

Style: Lager
Availability: 12oz Cans, Draft. Year-Round.

University of Georgia honeybees & Creature Comforts Common Things

Creature Comforts Common Things debuts this month, a collaboration with the University of Georgia Honeybee program.

This new saison is fermented with the honey in stainless steel tanks before being refermented in bottles.

We’re also excited to have another opportunity to showcase locally sourced ingredients in our beer.” –  Blake Tyers, Wood Cellar, and Specialty Brand Manager

Creature Comforts Common Things will be available at the brewery on August 25th in 750-milliliter bottles. The label art was created by staff member Melissa Merrill.
