We are pleased to announce the release of our 2019 wines!

In chaotic and unsettling times, Woods reinforces its commitment to its workers and its community with exciting new wines and a brand-new location. They’re restaffing, restocking, and growing their business to continue to share their creations with their friends and neighbors.

Woods Beer & Wine Co. began making and selling its creative beers to San Francisco’s curious drinkers in 2012, at a small brewpub on the corner of Dolores Park. When their brewing adventures led them to co-fermented wine-beer hybrids like the Divine Origins series and a robust list of natural wines on offer at their bars, their customers embraced the exciting new flavors and minimal-intervention approach — and wanted more. So in 2018, Woods began making wine alongside beer at its Treasure Island production facility.

Now in its second year of winemaking, Woods continues to focus on making wines with little or no sulfur, and without any fining, filtering, or cultured yeasts. This year, after a modest harvest in 2018, they processed 60 tons of ten different grape varietals across four different AVAs, fermenting them in concrete, oak, and stainless steel vessels. Like their beers, Woods wines are made from rare and special ingredients. Unique grapes such as Corvina, Ribolla Gialla, Chenin Blanc, and Carignan showcase a breadth of style and creativity, and many of these grapes are dry-farmed on vineyards over sixty years old. Woods also uses more classic California grapes like Sauvignon Blanc and Zinfandel, but with novel techniques like skin-contact fermentation and minimal-extraction saignee.

One big difference with this year’s wine releases is that instead of offering the majority of its wine in kegs, Woods decided to package it for home enjoyment. Its team spent the second day of shelter-in-place filling 1,000 cases of bottles and recently released four different canned wines as well.

Woods is eagerly looking forward to a day when drinkers can again gather at its outposts for wine and beer on tap, and so they’re especially excited to announce their sixth location at 530 Haight Street in San Francisco's Lower Haight. 

The Lower Haight has a well-established beer scene with stalwarts like Toronado and Noc Noc, and newer enterprises like Fort Point’s Black Sands, and Woods is thrilled to join the community with something a little different.

Larger than most of our existing projects, the new Woods location will provide plenty of space to showcase its own wines alongside their favorite producers from California and Europe. They will curate a list of over sixty producers that work with organic fruit and utilize native yeasts.

Woods will open its to-be-named Lower Haight location on Friday, June 5, 2020. They will offer Woods beer, Woods wine, guest wine, and El Porteño empanadas to go, seven days per week. 

As soon as they are allowed to do so, while ensuring the safety of our staff, customers, and neighbors they’ll open for on-premise consumption. 

Meanwhile, during shelter-in-place, Woods is offering pick-up beer, wine, and El Porteño empanadas at all of its six locations, as well as same-day delivery in San Francisco and the East Bay, and shipping all over California. Woods has also created a brand-new beer, Sing From Windows West Coast IPA, and a home-brewed Woods Hand Sanitizer from wine distillate. A portion of proceeds from the sales of beer and sanitizer will go toward supporting Woods team members and frontline workers.

Woods Bar & Brewery: Noon–10:00pm

Thats right! MateVeza IPA, Local Honey, Morpho, Retro Pilsner and Freeze Pop are now available to pick up at all five of our locations.

Grab a four pack, mix and match, or a single can to go.

Look out for more beers offered by the can, as well as special projects and limited releases.

Just in time for summer, Woods will start serving pizza from The Star, the latest slicery from the folks behind Little Star in San Francisco’s Mission District. The deep-dish, cornmeal-crusted options will include a meat and a veggie pie, and will be served by the slice for $7 at all five Woods locations, starting June 4.

The Classic Old School includes pepperoni, black olives, mushrooms, onions, bell peppers and garlic. The NorCal is a vegetarian slice featuring mushrooms, spinach, goat cheese, red onion and garlic. Baked on-site at all Woods locations, and served with compostable plates and cutlery, they’re perfect for grab-n-go picnics or pizza parties at the bar.

Plus, to wash it all down, Woods is brewing a special, limited-edition beer to be released on the same day as the pizza’s debut. Cornmeal Cream Ale combines The Star's signature cornmeal crunch with Woods's house favorite Maris Otter malt for a light, creamy beer with a zesty kick, perfect for pizza.

And never fear, gauchos: the empanadas you know and love aren't going anywhere. Woods will continue serving delicious Argentine snacks from El Porteño, their loyal partner for over six years.  Summer's favorite beers like MateVeza IPA, Morpho, and Retro Pils will all be available, as well as new experiments like Islay IPA and Woods's unique wine-barrel-aged Divine Origins series. So stop by all season long to toast the warmer days with old friends, new favorites, and great beer and food.

Cookie Beers are back! Our annual toast to those delicious seasonal treats we love to eat, but can’t legally name — scout’s honor! — returns Friday, March 31.

As always, we’ve turned the classic cookies into five delicious beers: Chocolate Peanut Butter Stout, Coconut Caramel Dubbel, Shortbread Golden Ale, Peanut Butter Cream Ale, and Chocolate Peppermint Porter.

We’ll have cookie pairings, tasting flights, and Crowlers available.
