About

Validation Ale is a modern brewery in Santa Barbara, CA, with two taproom locations: HQ in the Funk Zone at 102 E. Yanonali St. and Annex in Uptown at 2840 De La Vina St. They feature an evolving tap list where the most popular 'Validated' beer in each category is challenged by a new 'Vying' recipe, determined by visitor orders. The spots offer great food by Chef Matt and Kaity, live music, sports viewing, comedy, trivia, and VIP memberships.
