Blue Oak Brewing Company

Amazing little local brew. I live across the street and I definitely come here WAY too much, especially since they started their buck off Mondays It's located behind an industrial alley but trust me it's back there. They got a handful of sours and I love all of them so much. The IPAs are solid, the lager is refreshing as always, and the seltzer is actually delicious. If you order a 10oz you can get a beer for 4 bucks so I'm always down for that. There's usually a food truck or little pop up stand selling burritos and tacos. The outdoor area is a vibe and that's usually where everyone hangs out. This place is quiet during the weekdays but on the weekend it's the spot! Drinks: 8/10 Service: 6/10 Vibes: 7/10 Value: 7/10

Found Blue Oak off of google maps. Nice spot for beer. Lots of seating inside and outside with parking on site. I ended up ordering a hazy and it was good.

Was visiting my buddy Nick. We looked at what local breweries had the best food truck. Last night Blue Oak won. Live music, great beer, excellent food truck. I’ll be back next time I’m in town.

Our go-to spot for a drink after work or with the family/dog on weekends. Good beer. Lots of seating inside & outside. Nice laid-back unpretentious vibes. Parking a slight challenge but always doable.

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.

We live in Redwood City and had heard lots of recommendations to check out Blue Oak from friends in the area, but we had never been. When we started planning our wedding last year, we were looking for venues to host a welcome party for ~75-100 guests for the night before our wedding, and we saw that Blue Oak had a large event space that could be rented out. I reached out and heard back right away from their event coordinator, Brad, right away letting us know he could give a tour whenever we liked. We showed up later that week and he walked us through the space and talked us through what the event would look like. We had questions and he happily answered us, but the best part was that they seemed very amenable and willing to work with us which really set us at ease that we would be able to have the event happen exactly as we hoped. We signed a contract and paid a deposit for the space and then discussed connecting closer to the event to select beers for it. Around two weeks before we went in with my parents and Brad let us go one by one (and also back for plenty of seconds) through every beer on their current tap list. He was very knowledgeable about the beers and was honestly just a very great guy. For the event, we had outside catering delivered (they do not offer food) and were able to come to set up prior to the start time. Brad handled everything and hardly let us help when we needed a few things rearranged. They had a side room with a fridge and small food warmer where we could store a few of the trays of warm food. We were able to stream a video reel to a TV in the space and play music through their Bluetooth setup. Brad manned the taps and made sure everyone had a great time. We had such a wonderful experience with Blue Oak. Their beers are fantastic and the brewery and event space are awesome – we can’t recommend them enough!

Family-friendly, spacious, and very cozy! Also they even have 5 oz drinks!
