IBU Taproom & Bottle Shop

Most of the beer we ordered was to our liking but one had a very bitter taste . It was a 5oz pour of 7 beers we purchased that didn't taste good. Our beer tender said " it's our policy not to let you taste beer before you buy it" yet she poured it tasted it in front of us, then poured the remainder out. We tried the seven beers and one was not good at all. We asked if we could replace it with another beer and the manager said no but we could buy another beer. Let me get this straight I paid for a beer I'm not going to drink and flush seven dollars down the toilet then spend money on another beer I may not like because you won't let me taste it. How does that make any sense? This is bad customer service . They need a serious customer service class and need to learn that if you want customers to come back treat them like you care about them being satisfied with what they purchase. I have been to many taprooms and breweries that let you taste beer on tap to see if you like it before you purchase it. This is my first experience where they don't let you try a beer on tap you've never tried before. I would not recommend this place to anyone.

Quite the brewery. The variety of drinks was astounding. The taste of the kombuchas and seltzers was actually surprising. Loved the environment with numerous television screens and the crowd that gathers for sporting events.One thing that really ticked this down to a 4 is the responsiveness. The place was relatively empty and we accidentally left a few items there asking to confirm if the items were indeed there. We returned 4 hours later into the rather empty taproom, few workers, and a ringing telephone line which they ignored.Good spot, I was icked.

Such an amazing time at IBU. They've got a vast amount of options from sours to IPAs to Ciders to Lagers. You really can get any and all. 2 sizes for your pour and it works good if you want to try multiple types of brew. I love the option to create your own 4-pack from all the craft options available. Food options are next door, you can bring food in but not cross the beers. Service was swift and plenty of parking can't really ask for more.

Great selection of beers at a decent price point.Good place to catch up with friends or watch a game

Drinks: 5 / 5Service: 4.5 / 5 Cleanliness: 4.5 / 5 Parking: 3.5 / 5 Price: 5 / 5One of the top tier and oldest spots in Milpitas to catch a sports game and get food with Stuft Pizza being next door! I used to go here with my friends to watch some NBA playoff games and grab food and drinks. Ambience is always really good but be warned, the parking here is VERY limited and once all the seats are taken, you cannot sit here. I would go to Big Al's if this place is packed. Price for food is also kind of high but if you want to chill with friends over some pizza and drinks, definitely check this spot!If you know of something better and affordable, please do let me know on Instagram/TikTok or here on Yelp!- Video Reviews on my Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/gillynova/)

Good selection of beers, friendly staff, and next-door to a pizza place. A good, convenient, friendly spot to have a few beers.

Hidden little gem in a random strip mall next to a daycare center. The taproom is connected to a pizza place. They have a large variety of beer, cider and other drinks. Everyone was super friendly and knowledgeable. Plenty of sitting room, large tables, lots of TVs. I would definitely recommend giving this place a try. Casual setting and great vibes.

My very good friend introduced me to this place. I was super impressed when I saw that there were over 40 beers that had 4.0+ ratings on Untappd (THE beer app).We had several IPA's, a few stouts, a strong ale and a smoothie sour. I like IPAs and most of them were very good, but that smoothie sour (Fruit for Thought) was a surprise. It really tasted like a smoothie. That can't be beer. What - It has 6.6% ABV?! That's amazing.My friend and I shared 8 beers. Yet we were just scratching the surface of what this place offered. This is like heaven for craft beer lovers. Definitely need to go back for more!

This venue is right next door (with an attached doorway) to Stuft Pizza. You can bring the pizza from Stuft Pizza into IBU Taproom, but you cannot bring beer from IBU Taproom into Stuft Pizza... somewhat of a confusing policy, but not a problem for us. They have plenty of beers to choose from at IBU. We tried Clown Shoes Mango Kotsch, and Bell's Two Hearted Ale IPA, and we enjoyed them both. We also took some beer to go (they have a large selection here)... Armistice Glass Half Full-Spectrum (DDH), which I liked, definitely a strong flavor, Dust Bowl Confused Therapist, and Humble Sea Brewing Tie-Dye Hard which was recommended by the owner/worker (and we love Humble Sea, so we trusted that this would be good). We also tried the 2 Town Ciderhouse Hollow Jack (chai spiced pumpkin)... it was not good, and we did not finish this one.There's a good amount of seating at IBU Taproom, plenty of parking in the shared lot out front, a very casual and chill, no-frills atmosphere, perfect for a lazy Sunday afternoon. Great beer selection, knowledgeable and friendly service, that's pretty much all you need (oh, and of course the pizza next door... can't get any better than that!)

A fun hidden gem in Milpitas! The Service and drinks are excellent. I'd definitely go there again!
