February 2026 marks the 30th anniversary of the Atlanta-based beer journalist, enthusiast, and icon, Ale Sharpton. One of the country’s first legitimate beer influencers, Creature Comforts and Ale are teaming up to bring a special beer collaboration to life this winter.
Piano Keys is a roaming collaboration between Ale and his hero breweries. Our version is an Imperial Stout, brought to life using cocoa nibs from Athens’ own Condor Chocolates and an elite blend of hand selected vanilla beans from around the globe. Clocking in at a 9.6% ABV, our talented brewers endeavored to hit the gravity that reflects the year that Ale Sharpton came to life: in 1996!
