No distribution from Santa Cruz to Santa Barbara as far as I know. If you see it, it's probably grey market.
Eh, it's inconvenient for sure but they just pulled out of the entire state of Washington so it could be worse. First world problems.
Every now and than you can get lucky at the Whole Foods in Santa Barbara, I have heard some Wednesdays they get Russian River beers but I dont even think its a weekly thing...otherwise no other chance of R.R. around here
