Gremlin Growlers and Connect in Chaos Coffee Roasters

About Us.

The Southside of Atlanta has been a craft beer and coffee wasteland for the past couple of decades. In the past twelve years, we have forged a path of flavor for independent craft beverages south of Atlanta. Now, with the help of our Lead Roaster & Store Manager Heather Lowe Gresham, and Connect in Chaos Coffee Roasters we endeavor to forever change your perception of coffee and beer, guiding you to a new frontier of flavor.

Connect in Chaos Coffee Roasters

Don't Panic! It's Still Us! Connect in Chaos Coffee Roasters is the part of Gremlin Growlers that was created in 2017 with our move to Fayetteville and the addition of Heather Gresham, head roaster and co-owner, and her 30 years of coffee experience. The new Connect in Chaos branding was mainly created to provide our coffee with its own identity in the online and wholesale markets. Clear branding as a coffee roastery, rather than a growler shop, will aid in marketing both to individuals online as well as potential wholesale customers such as restaurants and smaller coffee shops. At different coffee shops all around the world, the one constant is the connections over coffee that happen all day, every day. No matter what chaos is going on in the world…you can always connect over a cup of coffee. We are still the same Gremlin Growlers coffee you’ve come to know and love, at the same place we have always been…at the corner of Lanier and Glynn on the historic downtown square in Fayetteville, GA. But now we can reach further as we will ship to your door anywhere across the country…and we hope to soon be in the coffee shop down the block or locally owned restaurant on your square.

Our Story.

Gremlin Growlers is owned and operated by Glenn Gresham and his wife, Heather Lowe Gresham. Glenn Gresham founded Gremlin Growlers in 2012. After being captivated by the grass roots spirit focus on quality of the craft beer movement,

Our History.

Many of the buildings on Fayetteville’s historic square, including the one which houses Gremlin Growlers today, date back to the 1890s. Since then, the storefront to the northwest of the courthouse has housed a variety of businesses, until we moved from Peachtree City to the Fayetteville square in February of 2017.

At the beginning of the 1900s, R.E.L. Fife (the same Fife of the Holliday-Dorsey-Fife House behind Gremlin Growlers) ran a mercantile store in the storefronts that now house us and our business neighbor, Rene Victor Bidez Photography. The mercantile also featured a millinery shop by Miss Beauty Griggs, selling women’s hats. Later, Fife sold the storefronts to K.W. McElwaney, Sr. who operated a grocery store, furniture store, and hardware store. His son, K.W. McElwaney, Jr. continued his father’s legacy, running a grocery store in the same location. In the 1930s, the townsfolk would occasionally stretch a sheet across Glynn Street (which was a dirt road up until the 1950s) to show movies. The benches out front of McElwaney’s were locally referred to as the “Buzzard’s Roost,” where local men would gather after work before heading home for the day - a legacy we continue to honor.
