ATLANTA CRAFT BREWERY SECOND SELF BEER COMPANY
TO HOST TASTING ROOM GRAND OPENING WEEKEND,
THURSDAY, JULY 7th – MONDAY, JULY 11th
Brewery has been Closed for Highly Anticipated Expansion Since 2015
Second Self Beer Company will host a Grand Opening weekend to welcome guests at its expanded brewery and tasting room in Atlanta’s Westside at 1317 Logan Circle NW. The Georgia craft brewery opened in Atlanta in fall 2014, and due to demand, its production has been at capacity since March 2015. With new tanks, an in-house canning line, and other brewing equipment, Second Self will increase production by ~150%.
Opening weekend hours are:
- Thursday, July 7th, 6-8pm
- Friday, July 8th, 6-8 pm
- Saturday, July 9th, 1-4pm
- Sunday, July 10th, 2-4 pm
- Monday, July 11th, 6-8 pm
Second Self’s Grand Opening weekend will feature tours of the brewery and new tasting room, which has tripled in size and accommodates up to 180 guests. Square Feet Studio—an award-winning architecture, planning, and design firm based in Atlanta—designed the new tasting room. Features include a 24-foot butcher-block bar, a separate kitchen for catered events and regular chef pop-ups, reclaimed wood tables, and much more.
The first 50 tickets for each day of Grand Opening weekend are $10, available to purchase online here, and will be $15 thereafter. Tours during the event will include tastings of up to 36 oz. of Second Self beer samples on draft, and guests will also take home a Grand Opening souvenir glass. Food from local vendors will be available for purchase, and live music will include Atlanta-based bands Kay Dene on Friday and Station 7 on Saturday. Additional bands will be announced closer to the event.
For Grand Opening weekend, Second Self will be pouring an exciting selection of much-loved brews, including year-round favorites Thai Wheat and Red Hop Rye, recent seasonal releases Citrus IPA, Maverick & Gose, Mole Porter, and new beers brewed exclusively for the Grand Opening: Funky Mole (Mole Porter finished with wild yeast), Raspberry Gose and Grapefruit Gose (based on Maverick & Gose), and two brand new pilot beers: a Caraway and Black Pepper Saison and a Hoppy Brown Ale.
After opening weekend, Second Self’s tasting room will be open to the public each week on Monday, Thursday and Friday from 6pm to 8pm, and Saturday and Sunday from 1pm to 4pm (closed Tuesday and Wednesday).
During the first 22 days of opening, Second Self will offer $2 off all tours and merchandise to celebrate the 2nd tasting room opening during their 2nd year of business. The brewery will resume its schedule of regular events, like “Comedy Night” on the last Monday of every month and “Yoga and Hoppiness,” a periodic yoga class followed by tastings held on Sundays. The next class will be held on July 10th, during Grand Opening weekend (tickets available here). New events as a result of the expansion will include “Industry” nights on Monday and pop-up dinners from local chefs. More details will be announced as they are confirmed.
In addition to the new tasting room, Second Self has two smaller rooms available for rental. For more information, please contact: tours@secondselfbeer.com.
