ATHENS, Georgia – In the spirit of giving this season, Creature Comforts Brewing Co., an Athens, Georgia-based B-Corp certified craft brewery, has launched Table Beer, a low ABV Belgian-Style Pale Ale; 100% of net profits from Table Beer sales accumulated between November and December 2022 will be donated to Giving Kitchen. The Atlanta-based non-profit is dedicated to providing emergency assistance to food service workers in crisis. The beer will be available on draft and in 12-ounce cans at the Athens taproom and in select Southeast markets throughout the month of November.
Highly effervescent with a refreshing minerality to help cleanse the palate in between bites of food, this year’s Table Beer (4.2% ABV) features notes of fresh flowers, grapefruit pith, bergamot, and a gentle, herbaceous spiciness. With an aroma that is complex yet subtle, the flavor is floral and brightly balanced by a nice cracker and bitter finish. Inspired by the term “table beer” referring to lower alcohol beers typically served around a communal table, the seasonal Table Beer was designed to be enjoyed with good food, family, and friends.
“As our third iteration of Table Beer, we are excited to continue working with our long-time partner Giving Kitchen, and proudly give back to the food service industry that has provided a great deal of support to Creature Comforts over the years.” says our Co-founder and CEO Chris Herron. “While the idea behind Table Beer isn’t a new concept, we crafted this limited release with the notion that beer is best enjoyed with good company around the dinner table and should always serve as a complement to the food you’re eating rather than a distraction.”
“By purchasing Table Beer, consumers are directly impacting the lives of food service workers in crisis,” says Giving Kitchen Co-Founder and Senior Director of Community Engagement, Jen Hidinger-Kendrick. “We’re grateful to our friends at Creature Comforts for showing up for those that serve us every day. Giving Kitchen partner products like these let food service workers know their community has their back in times of uncertainty.”
In a continued effort to support local artists, Creature Comforts worked with local Athens artist Bryn Rouse to design the can artwork. On the heels of recent expansion in South Carolina and Tennessee over the last year, Table Beer will be available in limited quantities on draft and in cans throughout Creature Comforts’ distribution footprint this month.
