Telegraph brewing on Salsipuedes st. Tasting this afternoon. I think they have recently stepped up their game. Try the brown ale.

Telegraph on Salsipuedes - they have tasting M-F (not sure about the weekends). Parking is sparse, but worth the effort. Brewhouse is also a good spot, and their food is great.

Firestone has a really good unfiltered but you can only buy it there.

HBC! Not just the best PLACE to get local beer, but also the best selection of locally brewed beers. All hail The Pope IPA. Nothing even comes close.

Telegraph is fun, but their beer is not nearly as good as Island, Hollister, or Firestone.

Island Brewing Company definitely has the tastiest selection. They also have local art on the walls, new each month. And stunning sunset views.

Pope, West Beach, Jubilee...

All of the above. Make a point to visit them all.

NOTE TO FIG MTN:
Expand your hours! Open for holidays. Stay open past 8pm. I've tried to get to you 3times and each time you are closed. A disservice to us thirsty patrons.

Island Brewing in Carpinteria! And what is very cool, you can order food to pick up or be delivered there. Dogs seem to be welcomed there also.

Is there going to be a "beer festival" this summer in SB? Please say it's so. When?
