Creature Comforts Emergence, brewery release March 5th

Creature Comforts Emergence will debut to the public on March 5th, 2016. This beer will be the brewery’s first large bottle release of the year.

Creature Comforts Emergence is an tart blond ale (American wild ale), that has been fermented using at least four strains of the brewery’s house Brettanomyces yeast, and has been resting in wine barrels for a full year until it was bottled in January, 2016.

“This is the beer we plan to make again when we get  new, freshly emptied wine  barrels,”  said  Wood   Cellar  and  Specialty  Brand  Manager,  Blake  Tyers. “As  a  result of using fresh barrels every time, Emergence will never be the exact same beer twice, and we are extremely proud of the  2015  vintage.”

Beer Street Journal has had a sneak preview of this upcoming release, and we think this might be one of the best barrel-aged beers by the Athens, Georgia brewery to date.
