Blue Note Brewing Company — Restaurant in Woodland

Was in town for a friends’ birthday and stumbled across this wonderful surprise, just a block from his house. It was 4pm on a Saturday afternoon. A food truck was out front and a birthday party was in full swing in the large patio area. Despite it being busy, I didn’t wait for more than two minutes to order. There were a LOT of options, and time was not on my side, so I chose a flight of their IPA offerings and a key lime pie sour. I was not disappointed with a single beer. They were exactly the lubrication I needed for the upcoming introductions and interactions, helping to shake off whatever anxiety might be gnawing away at me.

The establishment was clean. Prices were the median prices one would come to expect at a brewery. There were to go options and merchandise if one were so inclined to take something home.

Or BEST OIF ALL- there is a spot like a den with soft comfortable furniture and you can bring your DOGS here!!! I truly love...
