IMBĪB Custom Brews - Reno

 

amazing little brewery in reno, my favorite one we visited over the weekend and a place that definitely should not be as under the radar as they are. i was frankly blown away pretty much across the board, wow. how are they not getting more attention? the place is cool a standalone building that has some character, humble from the outside but pretty big inside, even though most of the space seems dedicated to production and ageing. a bar bisects the room, and tanks, barrels, and foeders are visible behind it, barrels everywhere, including in the small separated taproom space, just a hand full of tables in here, we found a comfortable high top in front of a sunny window. the beer list is impressive, some really clever drafts from fruited sours to lagers of various persuasions, fun dark beers, they have it all, but the real draw for me was the bottles of wild beer, they had a number of them in the lambic family, some fruited, and some more with yeast from various fruits, super ambitious and clever beer, and all that i had was amazing, like shockingly good, and it makes sense why they have won some prestigious awards for these beers already! i loved the triad and its huckleberry and raspberry variants, i loved the abiogenesis number 13 with the pears, but i also really dug the marion berry pie crust sour, the simple cream ale, and the can of tiramisu stout we picked up. no bad choices in here, although the doppelbock didnt wow me. they had a rum barrel aged maibock that was also fire, and it seems like they stay inspired around here. the space was cozy, the service was fantastic, even got to chat with and share beers with the brewer, cool dude, humble as they come, keen on experimenting and keeping quality high, loved the whole experience. the prices seemed fair for how good it all was, the energy was relaxed and welcoming, and the beer was all time. cant wait to keep a close tab on these guys moving forward, some of the best wild beers ive had in awhile, and i suspect the word will get out. not to be missed if you are in the reno area, this has to be the best brewery in the state...

 

One of the best breweries in Reno! These guys are relatively new to the scene but have really impressed me with the quality of the beer! Have tried multiple beers, but the anything in the Berliner Weisse style from them have been my stand out favorites. There is a bit of limited seating at the bar and in the front entrance of the brewery, but plenty of space in the back with a foose ball table and darts on request.

Any beer can be had to go in a crowler or a growler fill. You can build your own flight of as many different 4oz. pours as you wish. They have a bit of merch on the wall for sale as well.

No food is offered, Occasionally they will have some food trucks parked outside. Its BYOF otherwise if your hungry.

Overall, very impressed with the quality of the beer they are putting out. A must try if your in Reno.

 

Nice open area in the front and wraps around the side with gaming options for little ones in the side/back place. Tons of options with 15 taps going (one cider from D's Wicked Cider). A wide array of styles ranging from English, American, Belgian and German. I enjoyed the hoppy blonde, IPA and Double Red Rye. Very attentive server that was more than happy to pour a quick sample before deciding. 2$ tasters allowed me to try several beers. Crowler and growlers to go. Heard they were exploring bottling soon. Enjoyed my time there.

Made a quick stop in here on Saturday afternoon.

Fairly large and dark open warehouse type setting, with a small bar up front where they serve tasters.

Quality was quite good. I had three tasters of various styles and they were all solid.

Service was great. The guy working the front was super friendly, helpful, and talkative, I enjoyed my time there.

Selection was solid. They had I believe 12 taps when I visited, and they had a nice variety with a couple of sours mixed in as well.

Overall, a worthy stop, and nice addition to the Reno craft scene.
