Available in Four-Packs with 16-Ounce Cans Designed By Artist Keith P. Rein
“Beer That Exists for Your Mere Enjoyment”
Atlanta-based Second Self
Beer Company announces the upcoming release of MANIC PIXIE DREAM BEER #1 (13.9%
ABV, 65 IBU), a Russian Imperial Oatmeal Stout aged for 11 months in BLiS
bourbon-maple-syrup barrels. Fusing art and beer, MANIC PIXIE DREAM BEER #1
comes in a four-pack wrapped in art by illustrator Keith P. Rein.Each 16-ounce
can showcases its own unique design highlighting one of the four main elements
of the beer: BOURBON, MAPLE, COFFEE, and OATS.
Tasting Notes: Nose of oak, rich mahogany, and hint
of coffee, fading into the sweetness of maple syrup. The first sip brings a
wave of flavor, starting with aged maple syrup mixed with roasted malts and a
bourbon finish. Hints of rich leather, tobacco and oak tannins add to the
complexity of this beer. Like with all Manic Pixies, the result is a lingering
feeling to embrace life and its infinite mysteries and adventures.
Suggested pairings: Belgian waffles with maple
syrup, roasted lamb chops, pungent cheeses, foie gras, anything quirky.
Deserving of its name, this super rare and exceptional
beer was created “for your mere enjoyment.” It has been in development for over
a year, and the cinematic-inspired moniker mirrors Second Self’s recent release
MAVERICK & GOSE (a dry-hopped, fresh take on a traditional
gose)—referencing “Top Gun.”
Starting in February, the first iteration of MANIC PIXIE
DREAM BEER will be sold in cans and on draft at Second Self Beer Company’s
Westside Atlanta brewery at 1317 Logan Circle NW and at limited bars and restaurants
around Georgia. Second Self will periodically release MANIC PIXIE DREAM BEER in
coming years, in extremely limited quantities and only when a recipe is
particularly outstanding and worthy of the name. Each release will feature its
own art.
Born in Athens, Georgia, artist Keith P. Rein is a neo,
pin-up artist who has worked as an illustrator in the design industry for

painting.
