Seaboard Brewing, a brewery and taproom based in Matthews , will open a second location in Lower South End Friday, Aug, 2.
Why it matters: It's the latest tenant to open at The Platform at LoSo , a 38,000-square-foot adaptive reuse development along the Rail Trail where South End and Lower South End meet.
Flashback: The original Seaboard Brewing opened nearly eight years ago in downtown Matthews, part-owner Gary Murray tells Axios. It was, and still is, the town's only brewery.
What to expect: Seaboard LoSo won't be a brewery like its original location. Instead, it'll have more of a taproom feel, Murray says, with a full-service bar and dining, plus:
A covered patio looking out on the Rail Trail.
A private event space.
Live music and DJs from local group Radical Grove on Fridays and Saturdays.
Sip on this: Seaboard brews nearly every style of beer from Mexican lagers to sours to German-style beers. "We don't want to be 80% IPA," Murray Joked. The LoSo space will serve domestic and non-alcoholic beers.
In addition to ten original Seaboard brews on tap, there are also 350 types of wine, including 1,200 bottles, plus a full bar offering craft cocktails, mocktails and martini towers.
Seaboard also has a wine club called "That F*cking Wine Club." Standard membership is $75 per month and includes three bottles of wine each month, plus 10% off bottles anytime.
Best bites: Seaboard makes all of its food in-house, with pizza and build-your-own charcuterie as focal points.
If you've ever eaten the pizza from The Exchange Pizza Depot at Seaboard in Matthews, it's the same menu.
Charcuterie comes with options of three, five, seven and ten meats and cheeses (think sweet sopressata, manchego, brie), plus add-ons like candied walnuts and fig jam.
There are also dessert charcuterie boards and other sweet treats like Nutella donuts.
