IMBIB Custom Brews

The Happy Hour Lowdown

IMBIB runs happy hour Monday through Friday from 3-5 PM with discounted pints and flights. For a brewery that specializes in complex, innovative beers, the flight option during happy hour is the way to go -- it lets you explore their range without committing to a full pint of something that might challenge your palate.

Why You Are Actually Here

Because IMBIB is where Reno's brewing scene gets adventurous. They excel at tart and wild ales -- the funky, sour, complex styles that most breweries are afraid to attempt. But they balance that with solid lagers, IPAs, and barrel-aged stouts, creating a menu that rewards both the adventurous and the traditional drinker. The barrel-aged program is particularly impressive, producing rich, complex stouts and strong ales that stand up to anything coming out of bigger markets.

The Vibe Check

Brewing-nerd heaven. The tasting room has the feel of a place run by people who are obsessed with their craft in the best way. East 2nd Street gives it a slightly industrial location that matches the experimental energy. The crowd is beer enthusiasts who have graduated beyond just wanting an IPA -- they want to taste what is possible when skilled brewers push boundaries.

Pro Tip

Do a flight and include at least one tart/wild ale and one barrel-aged offering. These are the styles that define IMBIB and show what makes them special. The happy hour discount on flights makes experimentation affordable.
