Santa Cruz and its surrounding areas are known for many things — the Boardwalk, a petite wine country, banana slugs, horror movies and random Keanu sightings — but this week, for the second year in a row, it's the craft beer that's pushing the area's fame.
Capitola's Sante Adairius Rustic Ales, a tiny craft brewery specializing in mixed-fermentation saisons, has again been voted into the top-10 ranking for the best breweries in the world. Better yet, this year the brewery, founded by Adair Paterno and Tim Clifford, jumped up one spot from No. 10 to No. 9.
Sante Adairius — sometimes called "SARA" for short — was voted into the annual RateBeer Best ranking by thousands of annual users. RateBeer, a beer-ranking site and app, examines "more than 640,000 beers by over 33,000 brewers around the world" every year for the multi-category contest. The site awards across several categories including best new brewers, best beers by style and best beers in the world. But its most prominent category over the last 20 years of the contest has been its list of the 100 best brewers in the world.
