There are many more of course, but it does take time to get to every one in the bay ) I live on the peninsula so I tend to radiate out in my travels from there.Īlpha Acid in Belmont : great little nano with an ever changing tap line. Plus, they have an in-house, certified cicerone, who teaches a variety of beer education classes.Theses are all places I've been to and would recommend. What I give them major props for, however, is having an updated list of both the taps and bottles on their website. It's first a taproom, featuring more than 20 revolving craft beer taps, but also a bottle shop with more than 300 different bottles of beer from around the world (and even small lot bottles of wine!). I was pleased to find a couple others using the space for that very reason (while sipping beer, of course) when I walked in.

I had actually walked into Lama Dog to make it my workspace for the afternoon, as I had been told they had free Wi-Fi. And it all started here at Lama Dog, inside the Waterline, an adaptive reuse space in Santa Barbara's Funk Zone, housing it, Topa Topa Brewing, Fox Wine Co., and an artist collective selling wares and goods.
Hours later and I'm still roped into one of the coolest craft beer spaces I've been into, and looking at last-minute hotel rooms to book for the night instead of driving home.
You can even get some work done on their Wi-Fi, they said. The highlight of Figueroa Mountain Brewing's Santa Barbara taproom, however, is the outdoor patio. Their IPA beers are my go-to beers (per the usual), though many of their award-winning beers are of other varieties, like the Davy Brown Ale and Stagecoach Stout. You'll be hard-pressed to find a brewery where you can try so many beers, with more than 20 different beers. Opening in nearby Buellton, Figueroa Mountain Brewing has became a staple of the California Central Coast, with six taprooms, including one taproom in Santa Barbara's Funk Zone. If you're a beer lover who lives or has spent time in California, then you've probably come across Figueroa Mountain Brewing Company. Also of note are their pairing dinners, which they do from time to time, and sell tickets for on their website. However, they also serve other local beer and wine, and have a grill, which you can watch them cook on if sitting at the bar. Brass Bear Brewing's craft beer selection includes several of their own beers, of which I enjoyed the DIPA.
The Santa Barbara brewery itself, however, is low on frills, located at the back of an industrial-style building in the heart of the Funk Zone. It's like the brewery was made for me. What's more, their food menu includes unique food items like Tico Tacos with Costa Rican slaw (I lived in Costa Rica).
Love Local." The Brass Bear name comes from a national parks road trip that the owners took from New York to California, and more specifically because of how the sun hit off a family of black bears at my favorite national park, Glacier National Park. Alright, I know I'm not supposed to show favorites, but Brass Bear Brewing may just be my favorite, from the concept to their story to the space to the beer they're making.
