A top 10 favorite brewery. The travel is so worth it to visit! And It is pet friendly! You have your main room with the beer taps to order your delicious craft beer. There are TVs available for our sports lovers. There is another room for live entertainment and additional seating. I love hanging out in their outdoor patio! You most certainly can purchase beer in a can on site. You can always catch different food trucks that room through here from Mexican cuisine to simple, yet, delicious Smashed Burger and fries to pair with your brew. The staff are always so cheerful and friendly! Support your local business! read more

I rented Blue Oak's event space and threw my husband's 40th bday party there! Brad was so helpful through the process checking us in and following up afterwards. Great beers and tap tenders. Outside food is allowed but we also enjoyed the food truck that was there. Private space was perfect and we had our own bathroom! Clutch. We also had access to their prep space including a fridge which was helpful as we setup. I loved the private space but still access to the hub bub of the bar. The beers are always dank and we had fun doing flights of tastings! Alex, Brad and his staff make this a wonderful community space. My friend is actually inspired to host their fundraiser there too! read more

It's hard to believe I haven't been back to this place since '19. I'm so glad to learn it's still a place for SC/RWC locals. I joined some old friends for a few brews and catching up. I had the Owen Brau and Normie News. Both were good with the Normie News edging out Owen Brau. This place is family-friendly and dog friendly. On a warm April evening it was nice to see so many folks out enjoying the beautiful weather. And now for the pics. read more

I came to Blue Oak for a birthday party and the space was so much bigger than it looked like outside! I love all the local art, large picnic tables, and the indoor and outdoor area. They have a wide variety of beers at really good prices too. I got a 10 ounce pour for around $7-8. I got a fruity sour and it was so easy to drink! There was even a food truck outside if you wanted to have delicious fresh barbecue. The space was welcome to folks with children as well. The service is really nice and even when the keg was empty, they quickly exchanged it for a new one which was great! read more

My husband and I love this place. Blue Oak has an awesome and creative selection of sour beers, and they're always doing something a little different, which we really appreciate. The vibe is super laid-back and welcoming. It's also very dog-friendly, which is a huge plus for us. We love being able to bring our dog along.

Hadn't been to Blue Oak in a while but were visiting friends so thought we would stop by. We were able to find a parking spot (not always easy) and walked in the back area. There was a lot more indoor and outdoor spaces to sit which was great as it is a popular place. Staff are always friendly and the brewery has a great selection of beers. I enjoy sours and they have several. Talked with many other people sitting there with their dogs and everyone was having a good time. Nice to see everyone happy. read more

solid brewery right off the 101! note the parking is a bit confusing as it's in an industrial building area so there are various small lots you can park nearby. there's a very unassuming entrance, and it opens up to a larger interior and covered outdoor area too! i enjoyed the fruit stripez sour and a crepe, there are rotating food trucks on different days. service was very standard. would go back! read more

We discovered Blue Oak Brewing when we were staying at a near by hotel. We are glad we did since we stopped by multiple times. It's a big spacious place. It's big inside and quite a few seats outside. They have a mini arcade room which was really nice. My toddler loved going in there and playing the pinball games they have. I am an IPA and sour beer person so this was a perfect brewery for me. I tried all of their sours and their hazy IPA's. All were really good. My favorite was their Deep Tropicalia, and also my husband's favorite. That was surprising since my husband doesn't like to drink but he really liked that one. We really liked that there's a food truck everyday. They are really good at keeping their website updated with their food truck list which was really nice to see. The 2 food trucks we tried while there were really good. We walked every time we went. For those driving, parking is limited. Overall, we are glad we ran into this place. We will be coming back when we are in the area. read more

Stopped by during a recent business trip and tried their Hazy IPA (Never Go Full Murk). Very tasty and wish I could have stayed longer to try a flight of the IPA's. Everyone was very friendly and helpful making sure we chose the correct beers. I'll definitely be back to try more and hang out in this casual setting. read more

Blue Oak Brewing is the perfect place to chill with some friends and sip a cold one. Their sour beers are delicious! Staff is nice and prices are reasonable. They are also family (kid and dog) friendly! They have a rotating food truck in but you can also bring your own food/potluck which we did last time with a bigger group and was amazing! They have plenty of seating and you can also reserve tables online if you have a larger group. Definitely a regular spot for me. read more

I visited Blue Oak Brewing Company with a friend who's into beer, and the vibes were great! The interior was nice-looking, with blue walls, a tree branch handing over the live-edge epoxy bar, and string lights. We also loved that it was dog-friendly. The menu didn't have much aside from beer (expected), so I got the Wild Soul (Non-Alc). I wasn't sure I'd like this one, but it wasn't bad at all. I do wish it came in smaller pours because I ended up only finishing half. My friend really liked her beer, as well. We sat outside and ended up grabbing lunch from the food truck on premises. Overall, a chill place to hang out! read more

Friendly server, great flight of beers and delicious "food truck" food by City Chopped.

The beer is delicious, but the service was mediocre. The ambiance was decent, though there were a lot of families with kids, which gave it a different vibe than expected. They have an in-house food truck, but the food was extremely spicy , too spicy for me to enjoy. The good thing is they seem pretty relaxed about outside food, so I'd recommend bringing your own food and just enjoying the beer. read more

Amazing beers10/28/25 here with my family before flight from SFO. Today 2/8/26 I thought I will continue my review. We have been here 2 times since 2025. It's 20 minutes from my home through FW101N but worth it. Their beers are crafty that we love and there's a food truck parked nearby. Try this place out and you will see. I think you will enjoy your time there like we always do! 2/8/26 read more

Just visited Blue Oak Brewery to meet a long-time friend visiting from Michigan, and it was an amazing experience! The moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm, inviting, and full of energy. We sampled a wide variety of beers -- from crisp lagers to hoppy IPAs -- and every single one impressed us. You can really tell they care about quality and craft. The bartender went above and beyond, even taking a few minutes to give us a quick behind-the-scenes tour, which made the visit even more special. Before leaving, we grabbed a bunch of cans to take back to Michigan -- that's how much we loved it! If you're in San Carlos CA. and enjoy great beer, friendly people, and a welcoming vibe, Blue Oak Brewery is a must-visit. read more

Blue Oak Brewing Company - BEERS !!!! - Breweries Near Me - San Carlos, California

Wanted a family friendly brewery that had substantial indoor seating due to the rain and Blue Oak was perfect! My favorites were the sours (cherry bomb and POG) and food was available from a food truck (Mezcla). Not sure how often Mezcla is there but their fried cheese curds and fries were delicious. They also have a game room filled with pinball machines and classic arcade games. There's a change machine available for those games. Overall, had a great meetup with a big group of my ex and current coworkers and would return! read more

We've been to Blue Oak a few times, and even celebrated a friend's 50th there. The beer is truly outstanding. I've never had a beer from Blue Oak that didn't blow me away. The ambience is laid back, with plenty of outdoor and indoor seating. Dog friendly. They have some delicious snacks and food trucks as well, if you're hungry. read more

Every town has a few local breweries and a lot of times they're kind of interchangeable. A bunch of IPA's and some lighter beers are the standard fare. Well, Blue Oak here kicks that trend in the ass. Hard! They rock the beer board with some serious Belgian contenders such as Brother Brad Belgian Blonde and the Father Francois Belgian Quad and no less than 5 sours!! And of course there are several IPA options for the bitter crew as well. Plenty of lighter beers as well including an excellent dark lager. Can't say enough about this place, except "I can't wait to go back" read more

Popped by on a Saturday. Blue Oak was pretty busy but there were still available tables and chairs. We tried a flight of their sours which were tasty and fruity. Lots of people bring their dogs, which we loved. There was also a food truck onsite. The bathrooms are a bit dirty but otherwise enjoyed our time here. read more

Blue Oak Brewing Company - Flight $22 - Breweries Near Me - San Carlos, California

This is my favorite brewery on the peninsula! It's pretty small but it's quaint both with indoor and outdoor seating. It's a little unsuspecting as far as location but there's a good amount of parking. So onto the beer.. mind you I'm not a huge beer enthusiast BUT I love sours and I usually struggle to find breweries that offer more than a couple. Blue oak usually has a good amount of them too (maybe 4-6 depending) and are super tasty!! Service is great and people are always coming around to make sure tables/barrels are clean. There's also food trucks on the weekend and sometimes even some live music! Overall good vibes, but sometimes it could get a little much with kids running around.. that's my own personal opinion though- I'm not huge on kids being allowed at breweries *shoulder shrug* read more

Blue Oak Brewing Company - Flight - Breweries Near Me - San Carlos, California

Blue Oak was one of our regular spots when we lived on the peninsula. I haven't come nearly often enough since moving to San Jose. They have the perfect formula for a brewery - from the beer selection and variety of indoor/outdoor seating, to the live music and food trucks. They're also dog-friendly! And we never have a hard time finding parking between the small back lot, side parking and street parking. Staff are super friendly and knowledgable, and they're always happy to make a recommendation, even amidst the busiest of services. I was almost exclusively a sour beer drinker for a while, and I really appreciated their diversity of sours on tap. My friends who prefer hazies and IPAs also enjoy their menu. They've always had a food truck onsite when we've gone on weekends. Seating does fill up, so we try to get there early to get a covered outdoor table. read more

Eamon puts on a great comedy show here. I was surprised at the turnout . I think there was supposed to be more but heck I was surprised there was as many as there was. They have some classic arcade games here. They brought back memories. My favorite drink here is the blue claw. It's not weak like those lame white claws. read more

BEST brewery for sours and IPAs. That's all. Apparently I need a minimum of 85 characters (shrug) read more

This spot was recommended to me for sours as that's my favorite style beer. Was super excited to come and see they had 5 sours on the menu. Sadly the sours were quite sweet and tasted a bit more like sugar bombs than the sours I know and love. If you like a sweet sour, these will be great for you, but if you're looking for a tart pucker your lips sour, this might not be what you're looking for. I normally go for a flight, but since my boyfriend and I wanted to try the same beers, it was actually cheaper to order 4 of the 16oz pours and share rather than get our own flights. We ordered two to start, and after realizing how sugary they were, we ended up ordering 10oz pours to share the next two. The next two were a bit more sour than the first two we ordered, but still super sweet. The berry ones didn't have a ton of noticeable flavor, couldn't point out any of the listed fruits really. The tropical ones seemed to be a little better at showing the different flavor profiles listed. They offer flights and a few different pour sizes. Nice to see that they offer large pours of sours because a lot of places don't seem to do that. We came on a weekend afternoon and they had a food truck outside. There was a bunch of seating both in and outside. We easily found a spot on what seemed like a fairly crowded day. This place is dog and kid friendly, lots of both were present when we were there. Service was super friendly as well. read more

We went back again on a warm Sunday afternoon. This place is PACKED. Inside and out. It's just such a perfect outdoor seating for a beautiful day like this in the California winter. Having a beer or two over a casual conversation with friendly strangers sharing the same table. What's more relaxing than that?! Our dog babies always make new friends there. And enough space for them to totally stretch out and enjoy watching ppl around. It's a huge bonus for us this place is so super dog friendly. Even for inside. Which makes it one of the few places we can take our dogs and hang out even on a rainy day. Will definitely go back. Oh almost forgot to say, it's a brewery place after all. I'm not even a beer person but he is. But I can still have a sour beer (their specialty thing) which actually tastes good. While he's tasting all kinds of creative stuff they have. But me and my dogs will be happily tagging along. read more

Their flights are so good. The beer is so fresh and delicious and I've come here many times just for it. I recommend the flight so you can taste more beer. The only issue is that parking can be a mess. The atmosphere is wonderful with the food trunks, people, and dogs everywhere. I recommend this place but maybe come early so you don't struggle with parking. The service is pretty slow though and the owner was a character last we went. read more

Good beer helpful people, fun atmosphere. The sours are amazing they rotate them a lot too
