about us

Man and women posing together with their dog

Our brewery has gone to the dogs.

Our founders, Marty Mendiola and Virginia Morrison, seized their second chance when they stepped up and started a brewery. After gaining some success, they realized they wanted their brewery to be about something bigger—making second chances possible for their canine companions, too.

For pups.

Today Second Chance Beer Co. crafts award-winning beer for a community thirsty to help our four-legged buddies find “furever” homes in California and Arizona.

Seize a pint, save a pup. It’s as simple, and as powerful, as that.
