SWMBO and I got ourselves invited to a wedding in Santa Monica in mid-July and we decided to make a vacation out of it, rent a car and drive up the coast a bit. We plan to stay 2 nights each in Santa Barbara and SLO and I know next to nothing about either place (other than they look really cool).
Are there any must see beer destinations in the general vicinity of either of these places? Seems like it's more geared toward the vino on the surface. In previous Cali trips, I've managed to visit Stone, Lost Abbey and Iron Fist and have also tried Russian River (PtE) and Bear Republic brews. What else should I make a point to try? I pretty much like all styles as long as it is a good representation of the style.
What say? Any can't-miss microbreweries/tap rooms in the area?
