ATHENS, GA (April 30, 2019) – Creature Comforts Brewing Company announced the second release of itscollaboration with Jester King Brewery, Mutualism, from its tasting room in Athens this Spring. The southern-style farmhouse lager will be available in 750-mL bottles on May 11.
Mutualism is dry, round, and defined with a 6-percent ABV. The base beer for Mutualism is a pilsner brewedusing local wheat and grits from Georgia-based DaySpring Farms. The finished pilsner underwent a secondaryfermentation with a blend of both Creature Comforts’ and Jester King’s house-mixed cultures of yeast andbacteria. The beer was then bottle conditioned for five months.
Creature Comforts and Jester King first released the collaborative brew in July 2016. The breweries bonded overa strong admiration for beers that represent a time and place, which inspired the blending of the two housecultures as well as the use of local grits, a staple in Southern homes.
“We feel that this beer is a beautiful balance of our two breweries,” said Wood Cellar and Specialty BrandManager Blake Tyers. “Our work together, and our house cultures working together created a mutuallybeneficial relationship revealed in the beauty of this beer.”
Creature Comforts resident artist, Melissa Merrill, designed the label art for Mutualism. The label depicts bothbreweries’ logos as one cohesive unit, representative of the symbiotic qualities of the beer. Inspired by thecollaborative brew, Merrill painted the original artwork for the label with a watercolor medium derived from thetwo breweries’ combined house-mixed cultures.
Mutualism will be available onsite at Creature Comforts on May 11. For more information about CreatureComforts Brewing Company, visit www.creaturecomfortsbeer.com. For more information on Jester KingBrewery, visit www.jesterkingbrewery.com.
