Third Window Brewing

Visited November 2017. Small tasting room space inside The Mill in Santa Barbara which has some other businesses like winery tasting rooms and coffee shops. Tasting room has a bar where you order that has a video of the brewery. There's a nice patio area with communal tables. We ordered a flight of the draft beers and split a bottle of the port barrel aged quad. Seem to be focused on Belgian-style beers, but also have some hoppy stuff. I thought the beers were generally pretty good. Not a place I'm likely to get to often, but would happily return here.

Downtown Santa Barbara. Very cool location. 13 beers on tap, including 1 barrel aged beer. Sort of quiet for a Saturday night. 5 tasters for $10. Awesome place!

This is a short walk from SB Brewing Co. What an interesting space - this is kind of an eclectic outdoor arts mall area where a brewery and a winery are side by side; not sure if they share ownership or not. From what I can tell these guys are doing everything right so far (they have been open about 18 months). They space is cool - open and airy, small bar and a few tables. This could easily be a challenge to find a seat in busy times. Interesting taplist, barrels and brewing equipment in the back. Great service and a bottle to go already. Unfortunately I had time only for two samples (sold individually for about 2-3$ each), but both were solid beers. They are doing a wide mix of styles already - I tried a Weizenbock with Persimmon and a Brett Saison, but they also had IPAs, stouts and porters on. This is certainly a place to watch. Beer quality is already high and could easily become a hot spot.
