This sometimes looks like resourcing nonprofit agencies to help them go further faster, and other times like supporting our remarkable arts community. We’re still refining this work—still learning and adapting and expanding—but we invite you to join in. To drink up, to do good, to give back.

Russian River + Get Comfortable 2019
Since opening our doors in 2014, we have aspired to leverage our brand and our people to add value to the Athens community. With a commitment to community being one of our founding pillars, we created the Get Comfortable campaign in order to work alongside local nonprofits who address the community’s most pressing needs.
The Head and the Art Exhibition
Up in the taproom gallery now, The Head and the Art exhibition was organized by Taylor Newman and Megan Prescott, both doctoral student at the University of Georgia. The exhibition was funded by a COMPASS Outreach Grant through the American Society for Cell Biology, and was displayed throughout the fall at UGA’s Science Library.
Because of the extraordinary generosity of our local business and retail partners, our tasting room guests, and YOU—our followers and customers—the Get Comfortable campaign raised $290,000 this year to expand the work of the agencies who meet our city’s biggest needs.
