Blue Note is always worth a stop for beer and sometimes food when visiting family in Woodland.

I'm coming back to my drafts to finish this review. Such a great vibe. Live music on the weekends, plenty of seating, and fantastic beer. I would suggest checking the events page on their website to know what's happening. read more

Way too many kids running around, playing around, and causing issues. I come here to relax and have an adult beverage but yet I feel like it's. "Daddy day care"! Will not be coming back here as nobody seems in charge at this place. read more

What a beautiful brewery in stunning Woodland California! 15 minutes away from the airport, opens at noon so it was a perfect spot to chil right before our trip back home. Staff were kind and had great recommendations according to each of our palates. You see a variety of locals and visitors just hanging out having a good time and though we didn't get to see it, there is live music later during the day. Looking forward to coming back and trying more things in their menu. read more

I was in the area recently to assist our local Community Ambassador with a Yelp Elite Event in Davis, and asked her for a nearby brewery recommendation. She suggested Blue Note, located just up the road in Woodland, and mentioned they also served wood-fired pizza. Yes, yes, and yes! We met there on a Friday afternoon, just as they opened, and watched the place fill quickly with local beer-lovers. I grabbed a pint of their Los Cabos Mexican lager (with a slice of lime, of course), and she tried their rice lager, and we sat down for some co-working. OMG the Los Cabos was delicious! I've developed a huge fondness for Mexican lagers over the past few years, and this one ranks right up there as one of the best I'd had. It was cold, crisp, and the perfect antidote to a long week of work, travel, and events. In fact, it was so good, I got a second pint to enjoy with our pizza. For food, we ordered their Learning Garden pizza and added chicken. This yummy pie featured their homemade red sauce, gooey mozzarella, red onion, mushroom, and artichoke heart - topped with tender, fresh-smoked chicken. It paired amazingly with the Los Cabos, though I suspect it would be delicious with just about any beer. I really loved this space - it reminded me of some of my favorite PNW breweries closer to home, with its spacious interior with exposed brewing equipment, large patio with heaters, and incredibly friendly service. I mean, the beertender even remembered me by name as we left - impressive! My only regret is I'm not there right now to enjoy a pint, and maybe try one of their yummy sounding specialty pizzas (I missed seeing that menu until we'd already ordered our food). I will definitely be back next time I'm in town! read more

We were finally able to come in a try their new pizza offering. Staff are always friendly and helpful. We usually have the dog so it is great to see so many other dogs there. They also offer a variety of beers and some slushies. There is plenty of seating inside and outside. It is a great local place to relax and have a beer. They also have 2 televisions to watch a sports game. read more

Blue Note Brewing Company is about a mile from my house, and a spot we hit on a weekly basis. My go to drink is always one of the ciders, and my spouse enjoys 9 lives. My favorite days to go are Taco Tuesday for Heavy D's Tacos, or Thursdays which is our normal date night, where we enjoy pizza from their pizza oven. They do trivia nights, runs, book clubs and other events. Staff are great and weekends they typically have live music. Great local spot, and we can take our dog (she makes dog friends and loves it too!) read more

My sister & I came here Sun 5/18 to see the incredible Papa Day Blues Band. We sat outside under the covered patio and shared a picnic table with another couple. We went inside, and ordered a few beers. After getting a few tasters I decided on the City of Bees $7.00 & my sister got the Chewhoppa $8.00, which were both good. For food we ordered the Cheese Bread $12, which was actually a thin crust cheese pizza with garlic butter, which was then cut into strips. My sister got an order of Classic Pizza Rolls $9.00 both items took about 15 mins in their incredibly huge wood fired pizza oven, and were deliciously hot & crispy. The women's bathroom has about 3-4 stalls that were clean, and well stocked. The service from the staff was great. read more

The ambiance was lively on a Saturday afternoon. We got an IPA, a Pumpkin Ale and The Key Lime Pie Sour and all were really good. The service is counter service but the staff was friendly and inviting and happy to provide samples if you can't decide. I like their rules posted about children in the party, in this day and age I wish every brewery adapted them as the recent trend of hosting kid centered events at breweries has gotten out of hand with kids running rampant and parents checked out not caring their kids are annoying the other patrons. read more

Highly recommend, came here after a softball game for pizza and beer, both were excellent!

What an amazing place for brews. Stopped in Woodland for the night and dropped by this brewery for dinner. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable. Loved that they had live music that night that I was there. Pizza was better than ok. I won't complain. I suppose I was just surprised with their last call on pizza being earlier than expected. But let's talk about the beer. I love IPAs and they have quite the selection. I got 3 tasters and opted for their Nine Lives West Coast IPA and the Double IPA. I actually had two of their double IPAs. It was that good. Would gladly come again when in the area. read more

Tubule Note Brewing Company labels themselves as a nano-brewery. I'm not sure what that means. What I do know is that they have quite a nice variety of beers. They also serve cider and wine. The beers range from the standards such as pilsner, various IPAs, pale ale, and kolsch to a rice lager and a pumpkin ale. Many of the beers are "gluten reduced." The beers are good and the ambience is too. If you like beer, I highly recommend giving Blue Note Brewing Company a visit. read more

It's been several years since I last reviewed Blue Note and I'm excited to say that their beers have come along way! When they first opened, the beers were okay, limited, and standard. Now they have new twists and taps almost every week, with a variety of styles where just about any palate can find a brew or two to enjoy. I've been here 4 times in the last month and find myself looking forward to returning to see what's new! The Heidi Kolsch is my go-to favorite. It is light, crisp, and not too sweet. Their IPA's are tasty too, with some diversity in the mix from hazy, tropical notes, to bitter, citrusy notes. I'm hoping they might do a throwback to the early 2000's when floral IPA's became trendy... I miss those, but know I am the minority. The service is always friendly and accommodating. Last trip, my server innovated and poured me a half-half of two IPAs that I liked, but were too "much" of one flavor each. Combined they were awesome! (Citra Kai Orange IPA and Those Darned Customers). Most evenings they have a food truck, too. read more

My friend and I were heading home from a trip to nor cal and I needed a driving break. I found this spot through Yelp! It was in Woodland on our way down the 5. When we got there, there was live music from a band playing 90's covers. I really enjoyed the band. I got a pint of beer and ordered a personal pizza from the onsite mobile pizza truck. This place was a bit crowded and I liked the vibe. I definitely recommend! read more

Cheers because this place is awesome! Such a great vibe here. I love their pineapple beer!! Plenty of seating inside and outside which makes it easy to enjoy your beers (and good snacks/eats). Easy to order and just a really coo place to chill. Plenty of parking in the back. read more

"Favorite Brewery in my Favorite Town!" If you're not familiar with Woodland, you are in for a real treat. Drive or bike around some of the beautiful streets nearby. It reminds me of Mayberry! If you don't know what Mayberry is, that's because you're too young. Ask your grandma. This business is open, but you have to take your beer outside. The day that I visited they also were grilling hamburgers. Hamburgers and beer--just what the doctor ordered. To comply with local laws, you have to get a food voucher. That is, you can't just order beer. Today I ordered a kolsch called Heidi for $6. On a warmish summer afternoon, it doesn't get any better than this. Nice people, pleasant atmosphere, beer and hamburgers. read more

To be honest, I was a little preoccupied when we came in on a cold rainy day for a cold one. My son, his wife and this new bundle of joy, my grandson had my focus. I've been to enough of these tap houses to know what to look for and they hit all the marks very well. Outside covered seating, inside seating, walk up bar, selection board, friendly service and a very clean set rest rooms. I was kind of tired...lol. I do love seeing the brewery brewing. You know that factory feeling makes you feel like you're at the mouth of the creek. Place was pretty live and they had live music too! (It was a Sunday) After having spent some time smelling food and fire, I spied a new fire stove pizza oven on the way out. Impressive addition and he was even cooking wings in it. Nice digs...we will definitely be back. read more

Super disappointed that kids can run circles on the patio and scream as they run. Are there no rules? One of my fav hang outs but if the staff and parents have no rules it is like the playground at recess. Much more stressed after our visit. So sad - love to visit. read more

We have been long time patrons of Blue Note and love the location, customer service and environment! We have had parties and gatherings there and used to go there often just to hang out. They now have pizza which is nice! They usually have local eateries come too so it's a fun change of food every so often! read more

We stopped in for lunch and a beer after a photoshoot at KLJ studios. We had the carnivore pizza and the cheese sticks. The cheese sticks were delicious! We love wood-fire pizza and the carnivore was super yummy. The service was fantastic. The beer was delicious. We even bought some to bring home. We love the decor and the atmosphere. Super kid and dog friendly. We will definitely stop by again when in the are read more

Their beer was great, however, the day we were there they didn't have any food in the brewery just a food truck parked outside. It was Mexican food and resembled fair food. The nachos were a bunch of chips in a basket with squeeze cheese put on the top and the tacos were I guess authentic, no salsa or cheese. Not very tasty. We're not returning on a day that they don't have food in the Brewery. Looking forward to pizza, maybe next time. read more

I only hear good things about this place so I decided to try it Friday night. I don't have a driver's license at the moment so I carry with me my Government issued Passport identification card. When I went up to purchase a drink she asked for my ID and I, of course, handed her my passport card. She proceeded to tell me that she had never heard of passport cards and basically told me I was making it up. She was very young looking with a short pixie cut (red hair I believe) and I told her no it's real I use it on airplanes and everywhere I go. You can scan it. She just looked at it and said that it wasn't real. And she wouldn't help me and maybe if I go to another bar they might "believe me" And mind you: I am about to turn 24, look my age and am fully tatted. So I don't even look like a person who would need to fake it. It was extremely unprofessional Recommendation: maybe have some training for the bartenders on what passport cards are. Would love to actually try this place and give it a proper rating, but please don't call me a liar when it's legit read more

Good service, very willing to accommodate. Friendly staff and fixed a mistake quickly and easily

I've been to Blue Note about 3-4 times since they opened. Which is not a whole lot considering my affinity for craft beer and their location. I know, I feel like I should give some more love back. Because Blue Note is a truly cool spot and they make some tasty beer. If you're coming from out of town do not follow the GPS as it will take you to Dead Cat Alley (yup, that's the actual name) but drive on on Court St and park in the back. The back patio is nice, comfy and spacious and there is no lack of seating inside either. No food, but you can BYO. BArtenders are all very nice and quick, they'll also let you taste first if you can't decide if you're ready for a full pour of something you haven't tried. The beer is pretty good and Hopamine Pale is my go-to pretty much every visit. Next time I'm in Woodland I'll make sure to check out Blue Note again. They've been around for a while now and with the very cool setup and improving beer, there's a lot in store for the future. read more

Their beer is decent but I really am a big fan of the ambiance they've created with the place and location. The space is great with lots of tables and a great set-up. They have a food truck calendar and live music some parts of the weeks. This is where we go when we visit our friend who lives in Woodland and theres a something to do when we come over. read more

We were heading to a show in Sacramento and decided it was a good enough excuse for a detour to check out Blue Note. We started with sharing a sampler. We tried their Hopamine Pale Ale and a bunch of IPAs. I was happy with how many IPAs they have available. We tried I Am Brut, 9 Lives, Hopped Off the Presses, and Blood on the Tracks. Hopped is a double and Blood on the Tracks is a blood orange double. I liked both I am Brut and 9 Lives enough to debate which one I'd get in a pint. They are child- and dog-friendly, which is cool except that, apparently, some folks abused the privileges because they have "Parent Rules" posted all over the place. (see photo) Apparently, there are also some folks who still didn't get the memo... at least based on our experience.* *For the record, all the dogs were well behaved. read more

I hit this place a couple of weeks ago for the "Official Yelp Event: Hoppin' Holidays" party. It's located in a commercial building on Dead Cat Alley. Really..... The place is pretty good sized and finding a place to sit before the event started wasn't hard. I went to the bar and saw they were pouring 7 different brews. I read the descriptions and thought they were maybe a little heavy on the IPAs? The Hopamine sounded like something I would like and I ordered me up one. I did like it too. I didn't know at the time that as part of the Yelp event we would be getting a free 4 glass flight to try which was pretty cool of the brewery to do. Thanks Blue Note! I passed on the free flight though as I just don't drink much when out in public any longer and I was driving. I understand they rotate different food trucks in the parking lot and Buckhorn BBQ was there this night. Food looked good, but I just wasn't in the mood for BBQ. I will stop in again soon as I thought this was a great place for a brew. read more
