Description
Telegraph Brewing Co. was Santa Barbara’s first craft brewery. Brian Thompson founded the Belgian-inspired brewery in 2006.
Early American brewers adapted traditional European brewing techniques to the unique ingredients, climates, and tastes of the New World. At Telegraph Brewing Co., our beers are handcrafted in that same manner at our brewery in Santa Barbara, California. Making use of as many locally grown ingredients as we can, Telegraph's ales embody our philosophy that a local brewery should reflect the traditions of its region. Our goal is to produce uniquely American beer styles that are imbued with a spirit of invention and creativity, but always with a nod toward history.
In 2017 Utah-based Epic Brewing purchased Telegraph.

Bottle @ Scooper Tasting in Ulfborg. Pours slightly hazy pale yellow with airy and quickly vanishing white head. Clear aroma of fruit, yeast and hops. Sweetish, malty and fruity flavour with a touch of banana and notes of hops. Fruity finish with sourish overtones. OK.

Bottle, 75cl corked. A lightly hazy one, yellowish golden in color and with a small, dense, white head on top. Some lacings. The aroma is quite pleasant, with some pale malts in the back and coriander and orange peel pulling most of the load. It’s quite dry on the palate, even though the flavor feels sweet. Medium body, pleasant carbonation. Long flavor with coriander, orange and some pale malts. A quite nice and tasteful witbier that I could enjoy on a hot summer day. 131123

Tap at Capitol Beer in Sacramento, CA. Pours med amber with a white head. Fruity aroma. Med body. Flavor is somewhat tropical fruit. Reminds of a tripel - fruit esters/spice. Gets a bit earthy with time. Quite nice.

At YNWA, Kolding. Cloudy orange with a small white head. Funky aroma with lots of lambik character, and notable plums. Sweet and tart fruity flavour with plums, a hint of band-aid and tannin and some funk. A bit sterile, otherwise it’s quite lambik-like overall
