Artisan Brews

At Woodhouse, brewing is a balance of tradition and experimentation. Every beer is crafted with intention—rooted in classic techniques yet shaped by a curiosity for new flavors and processes. Whether it's a carefully blended barrel-aged ale, a hop-forward expression of the West Coast, or a farmhouse brew with rustic depth, our focus remains on quality, character, and balance. Each pour reflects our commitment to the craft, shaped by time, precision, and an ever-evolving creative approach.

The space

Indoors

Woodhouse offers a stripped-down, intimate setting that brings the focus squarely on the artist and audience. Our space amplifies the raw energy of live performance, creating an environment where music and storytelling hit with full impact. Every show is crafted to be an immersive experience—one that fosters genuine connection and leaves a lasting impression on both performers and attendees.

Outdoors

Under the open sky, Woodhouse offers an intentionally intimate environment for entertainment, performances and community events accommodating an audience up to 400 guests.

Tucked away in the heart of Santa Cruz, the outdoor patio at Woodhouse Blending & Brewing is a gathering place for music, art, and community. This open-air space is where craft beer meets creative expression—hosting live performances, cultural events, and spontaneous moments of connection.

Music & Art

We host a variety of music performances and art shows, open to the public at no cost, as part of our commitment to cultural accessibility and community enrichment. Live performances are an essential part of fostering creativity, connection, and shared experiences. We regularly showcase emerging and established artists, providing a platform for talent to thrive while contributing to the cultural landscape of Santa Cruz. In addition to our ongoing free events, we also often organize larger ticketed events featuring renowned bands, authors, comedians, and entertainers, bringing the community together through the power of music and the arts.
