About Us.

Gremlin Growlers is a husband and wife owned small business. We were one of the pioneer Craft Beer Growler shops in the state of Georgia. Opening in 2012, it took just 4 short years to out grow our original location. Then the universe smiled on us and we moved to Fayetteville. We took up residence in our 100+ year old red brick building and started serving specialty-grade, roasted-in-house coffee, having earned its own moniker - Connect in Chaos Coffee Roasters. We welcome families, dogs, and outside food. Come hang out and enjoy our +rotating tap list of independently brewed craft beers, fresh roasted specialty grade coffee, tasty non-alcoholic craft sodas, and more.

Do you offer rental of Gremlin Growlers for Private Events?

Yes, we absolutely do! We have several different options to choose from depending on your needs.

What we do NOT serve:

FOOD-

We do not serve any food but we encourage you to bring your own! Have your gathering catered or invite your guests to bring a dish to share! We will have a space set up to accommodate!

WINE AND HARD ALCOHOL-

Our Alcohol License only includes frothy, delicious beer! We do not serve any wine or hard alcohol but our neighbors do! If you have any concerns ask us about Revival Wine Bar, Courthouse Tavern and Twisted Taco!

CORPORATE ANYTHING-

We are a small business who have built our brand by supporting other small businesses! We have sodas… but they are craft made by an independent brewer. We have roughly 50 unique beers at any given time between our taps and singles cooler but you won’t find a single corporate beer anywhere in our building! We are always happy to give recommendations and suggestions but if your guests have a diet Coke or Bud Light fetish we just might not be the place for you.

What does it cost????

Unfortunately that is not an easy answer… It depends on a lot of factors that are all in your control!

DON'T TAKE OUR WORD FOR IT....

"We cannot say enough amazing things about Gremlin Growlers! We rented out the space for our post-wedding brunch, and from start to finish, they went above and beyond to make it a truly unforgettable experience.

From the very beginning, they took the time to meet with us, listen to our vision, and ensure every detail was exactly what we wanted. We brought in outside catering, and they made the process seamless! They arrived early to meet the caterers, helped with setup, and took care of all the logistics, allowing us to simply enjoy the morning stress-free. Their attention to detail was incredible; they transformed the space with thoughtful décor that perfectly matched our wedding theme and colors, making everything feel so personal and special.

One of the most touching surprises was a customized flight of our “favorite things”—a heartfelt touch that we and our guests absolutely loved! It meant so much to share our favorite coffee shop with both our local friends and guests who traveled in from out of town. Everyone was raving about the incredible coffee and the warm, welcoming atmosphere.

If you're looking for a venue that offers exceptional service, meticulous attention to detail, and a team that truly cares about making your event special, Gremlin Growlers is the place to go. They made our post-wedding brunch absolutely perfect, and we cannot recommend them enough!"

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. Much like the movement of the time, he was an underdog, underfunded with a big dream, a fighting spirit and zero tolerance for failure. Glenn wrote the Growler Ordinance in Peachtree City, organized the very first beer festivals in Fayette County (two of which still happen annually to this day), and introduced the County to names like Red Brick Brewing Company, Cherry Street Brewing, Second Self Brewing, Stone Brewing, Boulevard Brewing, Jailhouse Brewing and more. Remember, this was in a time when it was illegal for our local breweries to sell you their product directly! Mr. Gresham brought that beer and those names to your neighborhood and your tables. Fast Forward... 12 years, a change of town... a marriage to a lady who is as passionate about coffee as Glenn is about beer and you have The Gremlin Growlers and Connect in Chaos Coffee Roasters we are today! We are a team of three... Glenn and Heather Gresham along with the amazing and talented Alyssa keep the shop cozy, efficient and full of passion. We are a small team but we like it that way... we want you to know our faces and our names and we want to know yours! Come grab a mug of beer or coffee and introduce yourself. We would love to hear your story. Remember... The best things in life are brewed!

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.
