Second Self
Beer Company Debuts Flagship Brews
Beer enthusiasts are invited to enjoy the brewery’s
unique creations across the city to celebrate Second Self Launch Week
Second
Self Beer Company will premier its highly anticipated brews to the
public beginning on Tuesday, September 30. The Second Self signature launch
ales will be available at various restaurants and pubs across the city.
Beer Architect Jason Santamaria and Alechemist
Chris Doyle created their beers with high-quality ingredients and
advanced techniques to ensure an exceptional product for consumers. The flavor
profile of the brews eloquently showcases the brewers’ great pride in the
product and the use of distinctive components that create one-of-a-kind tastes.
Second Self’s opening beers include:
Thai Wheat - A spicy American
wheat beer as exotic as the country that inspired it. This beer uses both
fresh lemongrass and ginger to give it a refreshing aroma
and taste, taking drinkers on a trip across the globe. The beer is kept
dry, letting the spices stand out on their own, making it a unique
experience. This flavorful wheat ale is great for an escape into the
Second Self.
Red Hop Rye – Upon first smell of this
beer, consumers notice an abundance of hoppy citrus aromas while with
your first sip, the spicy rye mixed with hops balanced by
a malty backbone from American caramel and honey malts is
noticeable. These give the Red Hop Rye its dark red color. This is a great
example of an American hybrid of beer, a Red Rye IPA. Red Hop Rye is
perfect while relaxing after work or with a dish as bold and flavorful as this
beer.
LIPA - The LIPA (“lahy-puh”) is proof
that a robust and aromatic IPA doesn’t need to be a high gravity IPA. A
distinctive blend of hops, The LIPA is a smooth IPA that remains light in body
and can be consumed all day, making this hoppy summer seasonal great for any
occasion.
Saison - No messing around here. This is
a traditional saison, using only the finest fresh American ingredients. Second
Self brewers took their time making this limited release beer and it
speaks for itself. It is everything a saison should be, delicate, dry and
flavorful with notes of citrus and pepper. Just like a proper saison, it is
good for any occasion, and just about every meal.
