Earlier this year, Athens-based Creature Comforts Brewing Co. collaborated with Maine’s Allagash Brewing Co. to release Get Comfortable Belgian-Style IPA, with 100% of the profits going toward Creature Comforts’ charitable Get Comfortable Fund.
More recently, Creature Comforts and Allagash collaborated on a mixed-culture blonde ale, and once again, all of the proceeds will benefit Get Comfortable.
With that goodness in mind, A Force For Good is this week’s Beer Pick.

Profile
The latest Creature Comforts collaboration with Allagash Brewing is A Force For Good, a 5.7% alcohol mixed-culture blonde ale. Reflecting the shared philosophy of incorporating local flavor into mixed-culture beers, they used a combination of grains from Maine and the Southeast. It was fermented with a blend of Creature Comforts’ house culture and a spontaneous culture from Allagash. The result is a bright, tart beer that presents lemon, citrus and subtle melon notes.
