Woody Brewing Company was fantastic! The beer was great, the food was even better, and the portions definitely don’t disappoint.
I ordered the blue burger with a side of the beer mac, and wow… it was absolutely delicious. The beer mac was rich, cheesy, and the perfect side to the burger. The portion size was massive! I almost always finish my meals, but this was one of the rare times I couldn’t—and that’s saying something.
Great atmosphere, great food, great beer, and excellent value for the money. I’ll definitely be back the next time I’m in the area!

If you’re looking for a family-friendly brewery with great food and some of the best beer in Redding, California, Woody’s Brewing Company should absolutely be on your list.

This was our second visit, and it was every bit as good as the first. The atmosphere is welcoming and inviting, with an eclectic mix of music that offers a little something for everyone. Heather took care of us and was incredibly attentive throughout our visit.

The food portions are huge—you definitely won’t leave hungry. The Beer Mac is outstanding. Imagine the rich beer cheese you’d get with a great soft pretzel, poured over perfectly cooked noodles. Our son ordered the chicken strips, fries, and a side of Beer Mac. He’s an extremely picky mac-and-cheese eater, but he cleaned the entire bowl. The chicken strips were made with real chicken breast, not processed “nugget strips,” and the steak fries were perfectly cooked—crispy on the outside and fluffy inside.

I ordered the Smokehouse Burger and added avocado. Spend the extra couple dollars—it was absolutely worth it. The smoky flavor combined with the fresh avocado was fantastic. My husband ordered the tater tots with cheese and garlic, which were packed with flavor.

As for the beer, Woody’s is refreshing because it isn’t just IPA after IPA after IPA. They have plenty of options for IPA lovers, but also a fantastic variety of lagers, wheats, reds, pilsners, brown ales, and more. We ordered a sampler flight and tried Lake Day, Whiskey Town Wheat, Sir Irish Red Ale, 837 German Pilsner, Raspberry Wheat, Nutty Woody English Brown Ale, and Belgian White Ale. Every beer was excellent, but Lake Day and the 837 German Pilsner were our favorites. In fact, we loved them so much that we bought 20 cans to take on an upcoming camping trip to Diamond Lake, Oregon.

The photos show just a small sample of what makes Woody’s special—the extensive craft beer selection, welcoming brewery atmosphere, summer food specials, and convenient beer-to-go options. We also noticed their Wednesday special with $4 off growler fills, which is a great deal.

Whether you’re a local or just passing through Redding, Woody’s Brewing Company is one of the best brewery restaurants in Northern California. Great beer, great food, generous portions, attentive service, and a truly family-friendly atmosphere. We’ll definitely be back.
