Six Local Breweries Launch Guild

Six nearby craft breweries are founding the area’s first brewers’ guild with the hopes of making marketing and educational resources easier than a twist-off top. The nonprofit will offer “Ale Trail” maps of brewery locations and will hold a kick-off festival this fall. The Central Coast Brewers Guild will include Santa Barbara’s Telegraph Brewing, the Santa Barbara Brew Co., and Firestone-Walker Brewing Co., amongst others.
