“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.”
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. 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.
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. There is also a late-night happy hour from 8:00 – 10:00 p.m. with $6 pints of select beers and music provided by DJ C-Riz.
