Reuben's Brews
Microbrewery
in Seattle,
Washington,
United States 🇺🇸
Associated with 2 Venues
Established in 2012
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.

On tap at Reuben’s, pours a deep dark amber brown with a medium beige head. Aroma has gentle winter spices, toasted caramel, and bready malt. Flavour is ruined by the kveik yeast, with weird estery fruitiness, winter spices, and bready malt. Reasonable malt base but not a nice yeast profile. Meh.

On tap at Reuben’s, pours a deep dark brown with a small beige head. Aroma has plenty of coconut and chocolate upfront, with soft toasted malt. Flavour is fairly laid-back, with soft coconut and a touch of cocoa. Not much malt backbone but just pleasant adjuncts. Tasty pastry dark beer.

On tap at Reuben’s, pours a deep dark brown with a small beige head. Aroma has plenty of toasted malt, a touch of caramel, no hint of bourbon if I squint. Flavour is big, with some bourbon, toasted caramel, bready malt, and light booze. Nice bourbon character to go along with the dark malts. Very good.

On tap at Reuben’s, pours a clear pale golden with a small white head. Aroma reveals bitter pine, resinous hops, and sweet bready caramel malts. Flavour is balanced reasonably well, with resinous hops, bready malt, toasted caramel, and some spiciness. A bit muddled but cohesive enough. Decent.

Dark body with thin off white head. Nice chocolate aroma. Full chocolate and malt taste with a tangy bit. Lasting malty finish
