If you haven’t heard, Santa Cruz County has become very well known for its craft beer community, with new breweries (17 now open) continually popping up while conveniently-located, authentic tap rooms allow you to relax and sample creations from around the county. Many of our breweries have won International awards and have been recognized nationally (in the top 10) year after year, with some lucky neighbors having a top 5 national brewery just a few blocks away to easily meet up with those in their cul-de-sac.
