Description
Adam and Grace Robbings opened Reuben’s Brews in 2012, after Adam’s award-winning homebrewing career, naming the brewery after their first child, Reuben.

The original brewery and tasting room in Ballard closed to the public in 2015 when our Taproom opened, but we still brew pilot batches here every week on our 5bbl system. Our Taproom features a brewery right in the middle of the tasting room, where we brew batches of beer that you’ll taste in both here, at The Brewtap, and in distribution. Our system here is 15bbl. In 2019 a new production brewery opened. This is where we brew the majority of the beers you see in cans and bottles on our 30bbl brewhouse, it is also home to The Brewtap, our second tasting room.

At our family brewery we brew from the glass backwards: designing each beer with intention, unbound by constraints. We know making that extra effort is worth it. From your everyday favorites beers to our innovative new releases, we help you grow your love of beer.

Great looking beer, body and head. Fruity aroma, like a salad but with some hop. Soft taste and finish. What is this supposed to be?

Tap at the first Avenue venue in Seattle. Color is copper amber very clear with a light tan head. Medium body. It’s multi typically roasted medicine way. Hop is moderate and definitely does not overcome them all. Hop seems to be a bit of noble grass, spices, and maybe some floral and a touch of citrus. Overall, it’s a nice flavor for Merson.

On tap at Reuben’s, pours a clear blonde with a small white head. Aroma has some herbaceous and herbal notes, light grassiness, and straw. Flavour is herbaceous, with no real notice of any Saaz-like character; there’s straw and bready malt. Clean enough but unremarkable.

On tap at Reuben’s, pours a clear pale golden with a small white head. Aroma is full of diacetyl, piney hops, and biscuity malt. Flavour has some butter, piney hops, and crisp biscuity nalt. Too much butter for me to get past. Needs fixing.
