“Little known gem of a brewery in the Funk Zone. We have been a patron to to Rincon Brew in Carpinteria and Ventura many many times but this was our first going to RB in the Funk Zone. We had a great experience with the new staff there. There is a very nice menu that compliments whatever beverage you decide to partake in. 5 stars for service, beverage and food!“

“We were looking for food and locally-made beer on a hot day after visiting the pier (where there was no vegan food to be found) and came across the Biergarten nearby. After being disappointed on the pier, we were fearful we'd only be able to get beer, but then saw the Vegan Chipotle Sausage on their menu - Yes, Please! Pickles, sauerkraut, grilled onions, and dang! Look at all the different kinds of mustard they have! Wowee zowee! I'm in heaven. So perfect on a hot day, delicious, mouth-watering, thirst-quenching beers and sandwiches - couldn't have been better. Well, I guess it could have been better if it were an all-vegan restaurant, but maybe that's asking too much for Santa Barbara, California. You know they're not that healthy out there. LOL

Vegetarian options: Vegan Chipotle Sausage, excellent.“
