Buellton, CA Breweries Suggestions

[Reid]

I'm headed up to Buellton, CA for the weekend and would appreciate any brewery suggestions, and beer suggestions at said brewery. A quick web search shows the following breweries in the area.

• Figueroa Mountain Brewing Co.
  Solvang Brewing Co.
  Firestone Walker Brewing Co.
  Naughty Oak Brewing Co.

If there are others I may have missed, please let me know.

In addition to breweries, if anyone has suggestions for a good taproom please let me know as well.
I see The BackRoom is popular.

For those interested in Buellton, my company owns an RV Park in town, Flying Flags RV Resort. In addition to premium pull thrus with full hookups, we offer cabins, cottages, and safari tents. I get a 25% discount for friends/family.

I was only "meh" about Solvang Brewing Company. But if you're headed into Solvang one day for lunch, it's not a bad spot. I just wouldn't expect it to be stellar.

Figueroa Mountain is pretty decent--I've been to their Los Olivos location and enjoyed the beers, but haven't been to their main brewery. Obviously you know what you're getting at Firestone Walker. I haven't been to Naughty Oak.

Ditto Brad's comments. Solvang brewing is nothing to go out of your way to try. Fig is decent, but definitely FW is where it's at.

I'll be driving through that area on Sunday heading up to SLO for a few days.

Yes, the Barrelhouse is cool!

I just go straight to the Barrelworks room at Firestone. That's because I am a big fan of wild ales, sours, and the like.
If you are driving up there I highly recommend stopping at the Brew Lab in Carpinteria. Great nanobrewery.
