Second Chance Beer Company Celebrates 7th Anniversary

Second Chance Beer is celebrating their 7th anniversary with a party at its Carmel Mountain brewery and tasting room on August 27th.

The anniversary party will feature a special bar serving a barrel-aged version of its Glorious Golden Ale, a Gold Medal Winner at the California Craft Beer Cup in 2019, that will only be sold that day.

The anniversary will also mark the official launch of the brewery’s New Day IPA. The West Coast-style IPA has a 6.5% ABV and will be a year-round core beer. It has notes of berries and citrus peel, along with a whisper of pine, from Citra, Mosaic, and Talus hops.

Over $25000 donated for our furry friends

Second Chance Beer Company, founded in 2015 by Morrison and her husband Marty Mendiola, has donated more than $25,000 to local dog rescues since it opened and facilitated new homes for nearly 100 dogs through adoption events at its tasting rooms.

A portion of the brewery’s sales go to San Diego dog rescues The Animal Pad and Second Chance Dog Rescue, as well as Follow Your Heart Animal Rescue in Mesa, Arizona.

“Seven years is an auspicious number associated with luck and reminds us how fortunate we’ve been to have such amazing support from the community that has helped us give so many pups a second chance through adoption events and fundraisers supporting dog rescues,” Morrison said. “The launch of our new West-Coast-Style IPA, New Day, also reminds us that every day is a second chance to continue making award-winning beer and using it to get pups their forever homes.”

The brewery started with five employees and three beers, and now has 21 employees and 19 beers at both of its tasting rooms. Second Chance’s Beer Lounge in North Park opened in 2017.
