Press Release:
San Diego, California – June 4, 2014 | Societe Brewing Company announces that it will be celebrating its Second Anniversary of brewing beer in San Diego, California. From June 20 through June 29, 2014, Societe Brewing will celebrate Two. Co-founded by professional brewers Travis Smith and Douglas Constantiner in 2012, Societe Brewing will commemorate two years of operation by hosting nine days of beer-focused events in its Tasting Room in Kearny Mesa, San Diego.
“We want to celebrate with as many of Societe’s fans as possible,” says Mike V. Sardina, the Assistant Executive Officer at Societe Brewing Company. “We won’t have any exclusive, ticketed events or sessions. We are opening this party up to everyone. I think we have put together a list of events that is first and foremost about the beer. That is what we do, that is who we are. Brew the best beer that we can, and then share that.”
Societe Brewing will offer a special Second Anniversary glass for sale, while supplies last, beginning on Friday, June 20. When guests bring their Second Anniversary glass back into the Tasting Room any day during the celebration, they can receive $2 eight-ounce pours of any beer that is available. In addition to the glassware promotion, each day throughout the nine days, Societe Brewing Company will host a special event in its Tasting Room. The full lineup of events is posted at www.societebrewing.com/two, but the list includes special beer releases, a book-signing, special discounts on beer, a cookout with MIHO Gastrotruck, a cheese, charcuterie, and chocolate three-way pairing, and a hangover brunch to conclude the celebration.
“We wanted to make this about the beer,” says Douglas Constantiner, Co-Founder of Societe Brewing Company. “We want everyone who has helped us get to the point where we are today to able to come see us, to share some awesome beers, and walk out of Second Anniversary with having had an absolutely amazing experience.”
Tickets for the MIHO cookout and the hangover brunch will be available for purchase online through Societe’s website. The Tasting Room will be open to the general public throughout the week, and Societe Brewing is both kid and dog-friendly.
