The
post-pandemic age. Two years ago, that term felt like a wavering end of an exhaustingly long, dark tunnel as we struggled with concepts such as N-95 masks and Zoom. However, whether it be by seeing each other’s mask-less smiles in conversations or the recent swelling of crowds in the farmers markets, it is clear that we are now slowly re-familiarizing ourselves with what we used to take for granted, albeit with good caution. In other words, although we haven’t fully reached the unforeseeable postpandemic age yet, we have now entered a time where we are learning to cope and live with the enemy. With warmer days approaching fast, it’s time to explore new places all over Santa Barbara County or perhaps visit your old favorites. So go put on your favorite outfit and message your loved ones to see if they’re free tonight, because here is a list of places that you can explore with your friends and family, no matter what day—or night— of the week it is! Be sure to check their Instagram and website for information about their specials, latest news and operating hours. 10 | EDIBLE SANTA BARBARA SUMMER 2022

Island Brewing Company @islandbrewingcompany | 5049 6th St., Carpinteria www.IslandBrewingCompany.com
One of life’s simplest joys is arguably a refreshing, crisp pint of beer, and where else is a more blissful way to end your Monday night than at Island Brewing Company? While their delightful Shaka Seltzers are my personal favorites, the well-loved local brewery has endless options of ales, IPAs and more for everyone to enjoy just a couple blocks from Carpinteria beach.

Draughtsmen Aleworks: Weekly Trivia Night @draughtsmen | 53 Santa Felicia Dr., Goleta www.DraughtsmenAleworks.com
While being a firm believer in how Tuesdays are the new dreary and dreadful Mondays, I also strongly attest that a fun, chaotic night of trivia—especially at Draughtsmen—can cure any and all cases of Tuesday Blues. If anything, who could resist sipping on a pint of Bangers and Mash while being quizzed on which Bowie song is playing?
