Creature Comforts Brewery Expands Distribution to Nashville Market


Four beers from Creature Comforts' yearound lineup, Athena, a tart German-style wheat beer; Automatic, a bright and refreshing Pale Ale; Bibo, a crisp and dry Pilsner; and Tropicália, a balanced and juicy IPA, are now available in cans at independent and chain Grocery Stores across Nashville and Chattanooga starting this week.


In June, Creature Comforts Brewing Co., an Athens, Georgia-based B-Corp certified craft brewery, announced plans to expand distribution to the Nashville, Tennessee market.


"As a part of our strategy of being a great and growing company, we put a lot of careful consideration into our expansion plans," said CEO Chris Herron. "Nashville has a quickly developing craft beer market, an incredibly vibrant music and culinary scene, and a lot of population cross-pollination with our home state of Georgia, making it a natural evolution of our limited distribution footprint. Nashville will be only our second out-of-state market in over 8 years, and we will continue to be very thoughtful, intentional, and strategic as we select markets to further our purpose of fostering human connection."

Creature Comforts has selected Lipman Brothers as its distributor partner in Nashville. Established in 1939, Lipman Brothers was the first distributor of wine and spirits in Tennessee. Sharing a commitment to quality, Lipman made for a natural partner for the brewery’s entrance into the Nashville market.


“Not only does Creature Comforts make great beer, but have a broader view of the business beyond brewing beer,” said Business Unit Director – Beer, Ian Wolczyk. “Their status as B Corp, priority on philanthropy, and involvement with the culinary culture make a great partnership with Lipman Brothers. It goes much deeper than just transactional. We are more than excited to share in their future.”
