Brewhouse Beers

Our own Brewhouse Brews are handcrafted right here on the premises, providing you the freshest, most flavorful ales and lagers available anywhere. Some of our more popular beers are described below. Consult your server or check the board by the bar for current availability.

Ales

Apricot Wheat

Wheat beer infused with apricots. Very refreshing, with a pleasant apricot flavor and aroma.

Montecito Street Wheat

American style wheat beer. Naturally cloudy, light and refreshing. If you prefer a slice of lemon with your wheat beer, please ask your server.

Vixen Weizen

Bavarian style hefeweizen. Naturally cloudy, light and refreshing. Bavarian yeast produces banana and clove-like flavors and aroma. If you prefer a slice of lemon with your hefeweizen, please ask your server.

Doppel Dunkel Weizen Bock

Dark, strong Bavarian style wheat beer. Rich dark malt and wheat combine with banana and clove-like flavors from the yeast to produce a complex yet light-bodied beer. The significant level of alcohol adds to the complexity.

Nirvana Pale Ale

West Coast style pale ale. Made from pale and crystal malts, and a generous amount of Cascade hops. Spiritual enlightenment by the pint.

West Beach IPA

American style India Pale Ale. Unfiltered and dry hopped.

Harvest Red Ale

This “wet hop” red ale is brewed and dry hopped with “Estate Grown” hops grown right here on the property. These hops are picked and used all in the same day, to provide a fresher, greener hop character.

Double Honey Brown

Robust brown ale. Full body, rich and malty. This beer combines local sage honey from the Santa Ynez Valley with Canadian honey malt for a unique flavor profile.

Belgian Style Ales

Saint Barb’s Ales

Strong ales, brewed in the Belgian monastic tradition. Full of spicy esters and complex flavors. Named for our city’s patron saint, as well as the Brewhouse’s own ‘Saint’ Barb. Selections include:

 Saint Barb’s Abbey Ale (single): amber colored, medium bodied ale. 5 – 7 % alc. by vol.

 Saint Barb’s Dubbel (double): dark brown ale, with rich malt complexity, notes of raisin and chocolate. 7 – 8 % alc.

 Saint Barb’s Trippel (triple): the strongest of the group, pale golden with citrus and honey flavors, 8 – 9 % alc.

Baseball Saison

Strong unfiltered orange colored ale, with complex citrus and yeast flavors. Surprisingly refreshing for a beer of this strength. Originally brewed by farmhouse breweries in rural Belgium, saisons had to be strong enough to survive all season but still able to quench thirsty farm workers.

Lagers

Condor Pilsner

Golden beer based on Dortmund style German lager. This beer is crisp, clean and refreshing as a Santa Barbara sea breeze.

Brewhouse Oktoberfest

Our own version of the classic German amber lager. Using imported German hops and barley, this beer is a liquid poem to the glories of malted barley.

Habanero Pilsner

Our Condor Pils infused with habanero peppers. Plenty of pepper flavor, with a burn that lingers well after you finish it. Usually served in 4 oz tasters, but available by pints for those who like it hot.
