Tomorrow IPA returns today

Second Chance Beer Co. will begin serving Tomorrow West Coast IPA today. A limited-release, it will be available on-tap and in four-packs of 16-ounce cans at the brewery’s Carmel Mountain Ranch and North Park tasting rooms, as well as retailers Trader Joe’s and Total Wine & More.

Tomorrow West Coast IPA, which sold out its inaugural release last January, is 7.2% alcohol-by-volume and contains a blend of Strata and Idaho 7 hops. It tastes tropical, dank and piney with a dry, crisp finish. Suggested pairings for Tomorrow include chicken wings, spicy calzones, Thai basil and lemon meringue pie.

“The new year reminds us that ‘tomorrow’–literally and figuratively–is always a second chance,” says co-founder and CEO Virginia Morrison. “We hope this beer reminds everyone that in every moment we have a chance to start again, and not just on January first. For Second Chance Beer Company, we are looking forward to seizing more pints and saving more pups in 2023.”

Second Chance, the “Seize a Pint, Save a Pup” brewery, is profiled in the current issue of Dogster Magazine. Since its founding in 2015, Morrison and her husband and brewery co-founder Marty Mendiola have donated more than $275,000 to dog-rescue organizations such as Second Chance Dog Rescue and The Animal Pad. More than 100 dogs have been adopted through brewery events, and Morrison and Mendiola got their eleventh foster dog adopted in December. Additionally, one percent of all sales from year-round beers Buddy Lager and New Day West Coast IPA go toward dog-rescue organizations in San Diego and Arizona.

This Saturday, January 8 from 4 to 6 p.m., Second Chance will host a complimentary dog training session with experts from Hope2K9 Foundation at its North Park taproom. Hope2K9 specializes in using balanced training methods to achieve calmness and connection between humans and their dogs.
