House Rules
Lorena M.

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.

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.

IPA and DIPA

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.

The wood fired pizza had the texture of a premade/frozen. I was very disappointed. The beer was decent.

Outdoor seating

Lots of beer to the chose from and the food is always good, outdoor heated seating is a plus with the dog.

Bar and food order area

Food and the craft beer was tasty. Service was friendly and fast. The place was like being in a distillery with outside seat. Live music was happening and the pizza oven was on fire.

El ambiente es muy especial. El staff es muy amigable. Las pizzas y las cervezas son excelentes. Déle una probadita.

What can be the outdoor stage area!

The pizza and beer are great and the chips and dip really hit the spot for starters! The employees / crew are very friendly and knowledgeable about what they have and provide a happy friendly atmosphere. This is family friendly and dog friendly place! We will be back!

Wow just wow..This place is spectacular..I went here to see my friends band..So so much parking and it's free..sweet..As you walk into the brewery your surrounded by venders a tie dye clothes place a place to get cool authentic homemade kitchen supplies and so much more.. Then you're semi turned to an huge outdoor seating with tons of benches facing the stage and the live music was playing..The acoustics were awesome..We walked into the inside of the brewery and this place was giant reminded me of a huge barn like feel.. They had a large selection of beers on tap and bottle water for all you non drinkers. We found a booth and were able to stay cool inside for awhile hear the music and drink our beers.. I was here with My in-laws and wife..We all enjoyed ourselves and got many different types of beers and even walked a bit outside to see the different bands perform.. Luckily I took many pictures so you can experience what your visit here may be like .. Definitely worth a visit to see your favorite band and get a nice cold beverage..

From top clockwise, IPA, stout, extra pale ale.

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.

What a gem! We…read morevisited this place for the first time as part of a birthday party (but it was actually a cover for the birthday celebrant to propose to his girlfriend -- teehee -- which he did, on the second-floor balcony, and our group got to watch and cheer from the ground). It was a cold afternoon/evening in December, but we dressed warmly and stayed by the firepit. There were maybe 4-6 other clusters of people there also, and definitely another birthday party going on because the guests were singing along loudly to a special request playlist that the staff played on the speaker for them. I thought it was a good number of people considering how cold and dark it got. Our group brought a bunch of kids, and they pretty much explored the grounds the whole time -- feeding the animals, making friends with other kids, and having a blast. Food from the food truck was fine, just be careful leaving your food out unattended because some random dog gobbled our burger when we weren't looking. It's a beautiful spot. We should all be so grateful for having access to it, basically for free. Drinks were good. Good vibes. Super relaxing to be out in nature. Friendly staff. As of this review, you can reserve areas for parties/events for free, and you can bring in your own food and drinks, excluding alcohol, of course, since they are a brewery. I'm sure it gets crazy busy during the warmer months, but it is worth a visit even in the cold. Just dress right.

IYKYK But then, if…read moreyou do know, how do you know? Like, seriously, for anyone who's been here, how did you find out about Ruhstaller Farm? Though near the 80, Ruhstaller Farm is pretty much in the middle of nowhere. There's no conspicuous signage. It's easily possible to drive right by & never know what's here. & yet, the few times I've been here, generally later on a Friday or Saturday night, it's obvious that Ruhstaller Farm is the busiest place for many miles around in any direction. It's somewhat puzzling to me. Add in the idyllic bucolic vibes, & this place feels is a bit surreal to me. There's something about the frolicking farm ambiance here that reminds me of the Aliki Farms skit from the 1st episode Portlandia.* So how do I know about Ruhstaller Farm? A friend I homebrewed with for years lives in Dixon. Being beer nerds enough to brew it ourselves, we'd stumbled across Ruhstaller beers a long time ago. That early stuff was rough. The beers pouring now at Ruhstaller Farm are definitely a drastic improvement. The bar staff has always been friendly. & really, this is a nice place to relax & enjoy a beer. But that's it. I'll come through once in a while & have a beer or 2. I'm not staying. No matter how much anyone might say they'd love me to stay, & I'm absolutely not putting on a frilly dress. *https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=If41cZMBgqA

Poor service, bad food... We may come back to velocity park but we will definitely not eat or drink…read moreat the bar ever again, they were just plain rude and they use covid as an excuse for their behavior, it was a really hot day so I asked the guy at the bar for a cup of water, he told me because of covid he couldn't and I completely understood, but 10 minutes later I come back and while I'm waiting for the beers I just ordered the same guy is talking to another customer that he seemed to know and gave her a cup of water just like that, right in front of me. You can notice the favoritism right away between the local customers that go ride at the park more often and the customers that are not from there like us. Next day we came back and we ordered some chicken tenders, garlic fries, etc.. the fries were very soggy, the garlic fries, I mean, I honestly have no words, we just couldn't eat them, there was more garlic than fries, and the chicken tasted like it was cooked the morning before. IT IS A WASTE OF MONEY. I also ordered a shaved iced, and they took over 20 minutes to make it and the place wasn't crowded at all, c'mon, how long does it take to mix ice with flavored water?? 0/100!

The bar offers a good selection of beers from local breweries, YOLO and Berryessa. If you love beer…read morethe Berryessa Separation Anxiety is there best currently on tap ( this will likely change soon). The burgers are sub par. I didn't know a burger could be so bad. The wings are good (nice and Garlicky) but heads up they are fried wings. I would eat before I came if I were you but if you have to eat here I would order the wings.
