30 taps, 200+ bottles and cans

Market Beer Company runs one of the largest rotating beer selections in downtown San Jose — 30 taps that change regularly, plus a retail wall of more than 200 bottled and canned options to drink there or take home. The tap list moves through local, small, family-owned breweries as well as recognizable bigger names, so there's usually something new to try.

Staff who actually know beer

The team includes Level 1 Cicerones — the beer equivalent of a wine sommelier — who are there to help narrow down a pick rather than just pour whatever's closest. That makes Market Beer Company a good stop whether you already know exactly what you want or have no idea where to start.

Retail shop, not just a taproom

Because Market Beer Company doubles as a bottle shop, it's a useful stop even outside drinking hours in the space — pick up cans and bottles to take elsewhere, including to a different table at San Pedro Square Market.
