Ojai Beverage Company

Beer enthusiasts should not miss the Ojai Beverage Company, a bar/restaurant/liquor store with craft beers on tap and a 20-beer tasting. It's like the Ojai version of Echo Park's Sunset Beer Company—if Sunset Beer was thrice it's size and served tasty bar food. You can find almost any local craft brew here, plus well-curated picks from across the country and beyond. Wine tastings and liquor are also readily available, but brew is the main event, with very knowledgeable bartenders to give you the inside scoop on each brand. The food isn't too shabby either—although health nuts might want to steer clear: the Blow Your Mind Chicken (with buffalo sauce, gorgonzola and bacon bits) and blackened or truffle fries are some of the menu staples—washed down with tasty brew, of course.
