A small brewing system in Capitola
It started with a small brewing system on a frontage road in Capitola, California. According to its own website, the brewery has grown a little, but the way it makes beer has stayed the same. Sante Adairius Rustic Ales, SARA for short, is in Santa Cruz County and is owned by Adair Paterno, who also runs the brewery.
The brewery and taproom are at 103 Kennedy Drive in Capitola, with a patio where kids and dogs are welcome. There is also a Tasting Room in Santa Cruz and Oakland Arbor in Oakland. They describe SARA as the result of years of beer geekery: tasting every beer they could get their hands on.
Belgian-inspired and often barrel-aged
They call their approach playful and strongly inspired by the Belgian tradition. At the same time, they see themselves as keeping step with brewers all over the world who stretch style boundaries with a nudge rather than a shove. Many beers age in barrels, mostly wine barrels, with different yeasts and bacteria.
At least as often, SARA brews beers that are more approachable and more traditional, but no less flavourful or distinctive. The brewery says it works with an eye for simplicity and character, and that good beer comes first.
