  West Fork Cold Springs Trail
  

  Meet on the East side of the Cold Springs Bridge as the Bridge is being replaced

  This is a Friday 8:30 am meetup!

  We will follow the  West Fork of the Cold Springs Trail up to Gibraltar Rd. with its sweeping views of Santa Barbara and the Channel Islands. Then it’s back down the gradual trail. Hiking Distance: About 4.8 miles round trip. Elevation gain: 1200 feet.  About 2-2.5 hours.  This is an out and back hike with opportunities to turn back anytime for a shorter hike. Hiking poles are recommended as there is a lot of scree on the upper portion. There is a water crossing but it is not difficult.

  Google Maps for the trailhead
  

  DIRECTIONS: Meet at the EAST side of the Cold Springs trailhead bridge on E. Mountain Drive. The bridge is being replaced and we will meet on the east side. From either direction on Fwy 101, exit at Olive Mill Road and turn toward the mountains. Continue up Olive Mill Rd 1.0 mile, crossing East Valley Rd where name changes to Hot Springs Rd. After another 1.0 mile turn left on East Mountain Drive. Go 1.1 miles to trailhead on the right, the bridge over Cold Springs creek is being replaced so make sure you arrive on the east side of the bridge. (You’ll probably see cars & hikers when you first turn onto East Mountain Drive. That is another trailhead.  Do not stop. Continue 1.1 miles.)

• TGIF: Validation Annex

  • When
    May 02, 2025
  •  
    5:00 PM - 7:00 PM
  • Location
    2840 De La Vina, Suite c Santa Barbara, CA, 93105

  

  
  

  
  

  Validation Annex is the newest location of Validation Ale, a craft brewery restaurant with a unique concept that engages customers in deciding what is brewed next. Validated beer is pit against a new Vying recipe of similar type to see if the new brew should take over as the primary tap. The space is more handsome than most expect for a local brewery with curved walnut panels, massive doors and windows, and clean modern restrooms…And because no one likes fighting for a bartender’s attention, Validation Ale allows you to start, manage, and/or close your tab by using one of the QR codes on the bar and tables. Also, thanks to the reverse-osmosis tap on the wall, you never have to ask for water. “I’ve been home brewing for 12 years, and I’ve always wanted a brewery,” says the owner Brian. “But whether you’re a beer nerd like me or you’ve only had Coors your whole life, you’re welcome either way. We want this to be about community.”

• TGIF: M Special

  • When
    May 16, 2025
  •  
    5:00 PM - 7:00 PM

  
  

  
  

  M.Special...

  We have a bunch of Miller and Malloys involved in M.Special so we started our naming search there. "Miller" was obviously taken and "Malloy Brewing Co" was being used by a guy who was brewing out of his garage, so we settled on "M" followed by "Special",  with that being the name of our Grandpa Emmett’s race cars from the 1950’s. There were many versions ranging from Friday Night Special stock cars to even a Malloy Special that raced in the Indy 500 in 1955. Now anyone with an M in their name gets naming credit, like our Brewers Max and Michael or our Manager Megan or even the local Mailman who stops by everyday.

  The portfolio of beers are diverse, ranging from our flagship M. Special American Lager, some amazing IPA's such as the Greatland IPA and Lazy Eye DIPA, to a rich and flavorful Dozer Brown Ale, and much more. You can find these beers at most local markets between Ventura and SLO, or you can visit us at our taproom in Goleta where you'll find a welcoming space with lot's of good times to be had seven days a week.
