Second Self Beer Company Tops Off the Atlanta Craft Beer Scene

Second Self Beer Company is set to debut in west Midtown this summer 2014. The brewery will offer craft beers from brewers and co-owners Jason Santamaria and Chris Doyle. 

The flavor profile of the brews showcases the brewers’ pride in the product and the use of distinctive components that create one-of-a-kind tastes that pair perfectly with food.

“We want to challenge Atlantans to drink outside the box and enjoy flavor profiles they had never even thought about before,” says “Beer Architect” Jason Santamaria. “Second Self Beer is an escape from the traditional taste that allows beer lovers to slip into their second selves.”

Second Self Beer Company began more than nine years ago when Santamaria and Doyle began experimenting with home brewing after meeting in college at Georgia Tech. After four years of tinkering with their brews, the pair began testing their concoctions on friends in the Atlanta culinary and beverage industry.

The responses from initial tastings were overwhelmingly positive, positioning the brews as original and smooth creations. 

The brewery is located in an industrial neighborhood in west Midtown off Chattahoochee Road. The 10,000-square-foot warehouse includes space for brewing equipment, as well as an intimate tasting area for sampling Second Self’s unparalleled beers.

Guests who would like to tour the brewery and taste the beers will be able to take a two-hour tour as well as sample four-and eight-ounce tastes. They will be able to choose from a menu of four to eight regular and seasonal beers per tour, while learning about the unique processes Santamaria and Doyle employ to create their products. 

A food enthusiast, “beer architect” Jason Santamaria serves as the brand’s taste ambassador and chef, concocting flavor profiles for each brew around a central ingredient. His experience in the culinary industry as well as the financial world make him a vital part to the company’s success.

“Alechemist” Chris Doyle brings his brewing background to the venture. Equipped with brewery experience at Atlanta’s Sweetwater Brewery and a certificate from the renowned American Brewers Guild Craft Brewers Apprenticeship Program, Doyle is excited to impart his first-class creations to the world.

Second Self Beer will open in summer 2014 and is located at 1311 Logan Circle NW, Atlanta.

Brewery tours will be offered Wednesday and Friday from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m., Saturday from 1:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. and by special appointment.
