I'll admit upfront I know nothing about the record store business. Thirty-five years apparently means something in that world, and Creature Comforts is treating it like it does.
Long Player celebrates the 35th anniversary of Criminal Records, co-founders of Record Store Day and a fixture of Atlanta's Little Five Points neighborhood, with a Wheated Pale Ale at 5.3% ABV finished with orange, hints of citrus, and a nice little hop note to round it out. Whatever the record-store context, the beer itself doesn't need footnotes to make sense.
Athens' Creature Comforts keeps finding local institutions worth naming a beer after, and a wheated pale ale is a sensible, unfussy way to mark thirty-five years of anything.
Releasing July 24th.
Don't know much about vinyl. Know enough about this beer.
