Dear Friends,

We take our responsibility as business owners very seriously. You are the reason we have a successful business, and we want to take care of you, our employees, and our community.

We, in partnership with Santos and Laura Majano, owners of The Kitchen at Discretion, will be TEMPORARILY CLOSING OUR TAPROOM, however our ONLINE STORE IS NOW LIVE and beer pick-up is offered 7 days a week, from 11am-4pm.

Also, we hope you’ll purchase our beer from the many local businesses that carry it.

It normally makes our hearts happy to see you all in the taproom, enjoying your food and beers, telling each other stories, being close, making each other laugh.  We look forward to the day we can all safely gather together again. Please take good care of yourselves.

We hope you’ll stay home and join us in trying to flatten the curve.

Love,

Formed in 1975, the UC Santa Cruz Predatory Bird Research Group worked under state and federal permits along with cooperation from the Pacific States Peregrine Falcon Recovery Team to save the Peregrine Falcon from the brink of a pesticide-mediated extinction. Their pioneering work led to the Peregrine’s removal from the federal list of endangered species in 1999 and from California’s list of endangered species in 2009.

They continue on-going Peregrine Falcon research in the San Francisco Bay Area, fueled by a dedicated group of student and volunteer falcon observers.

A vital part of their mission is to inspire and prepare the conservation leaders of tomorrow through sharing our science with K-12 classrooms and the general public.
