E-Malt.com News article: USA, GA: Atlanta’s Second Self Beer Company expands production and facilities

Second Self Beer Company is expanding its production output and facilities, including a new tasting room. The Georgia craft brewery opened in Atlanta in fall 2014, and due to demand, its beer production has been at capacity since March 2015. Starting in early 2016, Second Self is adding new tanks and an adjacent space to the brewery in order to increase production, Brewbound.com reported.

Currently, Second Self offers two canned beers: Thai Wheat (a spicy American wheat beer) and Red Hop Rye (a hybrid red rye IPA). These flagship, year-round beers are available in 12-ounce cans at bars, restaurants, and retail shops throughout Georgia. With the expansion, Second Self will add new beers to its canned line in 2016.

“After celebrating our one-year anniversary this fall, we’re thrilled to announce plans for expansion,” said Second Self’s Cofounder Jason Santamaria. “There have been times when Second Self has been hard to find, and it’s exciting that now more people can enjoy it!”

Jason Santamaria (32-years-old) and Chris Doyle (30-years-old) started Second Self as a home brewing experiment nearly a decade ago, and their highly acclaimed beers were released to the public in fall 2014. The two met in college at Georgia Tech and bonded over a shared passion for good beer. Chris went on to work at Atlanta’s Sweetwater Brewery and earned his certificate from the American Brewers Guild Craft Brewers Apprenticeship program. Jason has a background in food and business. Second Self’s beers are brewed with only fresh ingredients like blue ginger and lemongrass (never dried ingredients or extracts). Jason and Chris designed each brew to be paired with food.
