ATLANTA — Second Self Beer Company, the craft brewery based in Atlanta, Georgia, will release its cold weather seasonal Junipa (6.4% ABV) this November. A spruce beer inspired by gin, Junipa returns in 2018 with a new recipe, featuring ingredients such as juniper and rosemary.
Available through February, the beer is brewed with citrusy Amarillo and Cascade hops, spruce tips, juniper, and rosemary, and then dry-hopped with aromatics mirroring the classic flavors of gin. Suggested pairings for Junipa include braised short ribs, herb chicken, roasted Brussels sprouts, sharp cheeses, fire pits, and roasted marshmallows.
Junipa will be available on draft at Second Self’s taproom in Atlanta (1317 Logan Circle NW), and on draft and in cans in bars and restaurants throughout Georgia, South Carolina, and Alabama beginning next month. The festive can artwork was designed by graphic illustrator Tex Grubbs.
