The craft beer movement is alive and well at Santa Barbara breweries with special seasonal brews, IPAs, brown ales, lagers and traditional beers brewed daily.
Santa Barbara Breweries
Local beer lovers will fall head over heels for the two dozen brew labels we’re serving up and down the Central Coast. Enjoy a refreshing pint at Captain Fatty’s in Goleta or father-son owned Figueroa Mountain Brewing Company in the Funk Zone where food orders from neighboring Lucky Penny restaurant delivers for free.
If you’re looking to try a little bit of everything, plan your trip around one of the many ways Santa Barbara celebrates beer. Set out to sea on a Sipping on the Sea cruise with Santa Barbara Sailing Center, a two-hour sailing cruise held each month that features a local brewery or winery on board. Or, monkey around with some new-to-you beers at Zoo Brew. From hearty stouts to mouth-puckering IPAs, you’re sure to find something to tickle the taste buds.
