"Santa Barbara is known more as a beach-and-winery town than a hike-and-brewery town. But with great trails, and breweries like Topa Topa and Modern Times both opening recently, that should change. For a SB born-and-bred option, check out Captain Fatty’s, just up PCH in Goleta. It’s in an open-air industrial space, with plenty of room for social distancing if you’re choosing to drink there. As for the hike - head to Rattlesnake Trail. Make sure you bring water, since this one is pretty steep - but you’re rewarded with excellent views of town, and an awesome waterfall." - brett keating
