“We think it is fitting that Thor, the God of Thunder, would drink Athena as the Greek Goddess Athena is, of course, the Goddess of Wisdom & Warfare,” Creature Comforts CEO Chris Herron tells. They tell us they were honored and said “absolutely!” The symbolism of our hero Thor drinking Athena isn’t lost on anyone.

We reached out to the Georgia brewery and they tell us Marvel approached them to ask if they could use Athena in Endgame. In summer 2017, Joe Russo was on stage at Disney’s D23 fan fest sporting a Tropicalia t-shirt, Creature’s sought-after IPA. We previously reported that the Russo Brothers, the directors of both “Infinity War” and “Endgame”, along with other Marvel movies, like Cap 2: “Winter Soldier” are big fans of craft beer and specifically big fans of Creature Comforts. The cast and crew spend a lot of time there. Georgia has become a mini Hollywood in the last decade, attracting a ton of major movies including a lot of Marvel films.

brewery is making an appearance in the biggest movie in the galaxy. Hence why I’m saying holy sh*t! A can of beer brewed by a small and independent U.S. It’s a can of Athena, a Berliner-style Weisse from Athens-based Creature Comforts Brewing Company!

Georgia craft beer fans realized that beer can isn’t any old beer can. The next shot shows a sullen Thor - who came oh-so-close to saving the day in “Avengers: Infinity War” - sitting at a table with a beer can in front of him. We then hear the voice of Mark Ruffalo’s Bruce Banner talking about what our heroes have to do. The new “Special Look” trailer (above) that dropped Tuesday starts by showing the exterior of the Avengers compound at night. I’ll pause to give you a second if you still need to buy them before you get shut out of opening day. If you didn’t hear, “Avengers: Endgame” tickets (finally) went on sale Tuesday, April 2. Holy sh*t! While everyone is trying to spot spoilers in the new “Avengers: Endgame” trailer, Georgia craft beer fans have eyed something downright awesome.
