Creature Comforts Brewing Company announced Monday it is opening the Creature Comforts Beer Garden in Chattanooga’s Foundries District. The Beer Garden will offer fans, residents, and visitors a dynamic gathering place inside the historic foundry building, called “The Shed,” which is adjacent to the Chattanooga Lookouts’ new home at Erlanger Park.

“Since entering the Chattanooga market in 2022, this community has resonated strongly with Creature Comforts,” said Creature Comforts co-founder & CEO Adam Beauchamp. “The Beer Garden is more than a taproom — it’s a front-row seat to Chattanooga’s next great chapter in the development of the Foundries District. Fostering human connection is our purpose, and creating welcoming spaces like this — designed for people to come together — is one way we bring that purpose to life. We’re grateful to be embraced by the Chattanooga community, and we’re excited to grow with the District.”

Slated to open in April, the Beer Garden will be able to host hundreds of guests within the iconic foundry. Guests will be able to enjoy the full lineup of the brewery’s core beers, as well as seasonal and limited series beers.

At launch, the Beer Garden will be open on most game days, non-game day weekends, and numerous other occasions, including community-driven activations, live music, art, and local food events. As the Foundries District continues to take shape, Creature Comforts plans to move into a permanent, long-term location next door within the project along the Riverwalk.

New City, master developer of the Foundries District, believes the addition of Creature Comforts underscores the vision to revitalize a historic part of Chattanooga with partners who seek to honor the past while building a modern space for today’s community.

“We are thrilled that the Chattanooga community’s first experience of the Foundry District will be the Creature Comforts Beer Garden,” said New City President Jim Irwin. “It will be such a fun and rewarding moment to see people experience the inside of this grand structure that they’ve been driving by for so many years. Creature Comforts is a beloved and celebrated brand, well-known for creating spaces that become favorite gathering spots in their communities. This is the first of many wonderful things to come in the Foundries District.”

Grand opening celebrations and additional details will be announced in the coming weeks. To stay up to date on all the Beer Garden happenings, please follow @CreatureComfortsChattanooga on social media.
