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.

16 oz can from the Twin Peaks gas station in North Bend, WA. Aroma is peppery, floral, bready. Pours lightly hazy golden with a one finger off-white head that reduces to a ring and skiff of foam after a minute. Taste has a light malty honey-like sweetness backed by mild hop bitterness.

On tap at Horse Brass, pours a clear bronze orange with a small white head. Aroma is bright mango, a touch of habanero, and resinous hops in back. Flavour is surprisingly cohesive, with a nice habanero kick, juicy mango, and bitter resinous hops. Unusual infusion of flavours but works great. Very good.

On tap at Belmont Station - Bier Cafe, pours a clear golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out oily piney hops, light resins, some dankness, and just enough sweet biscuity malt. Flavour is oily, with lots of piney and resinous hops, gentle dankness, and sweet biscuity malt. Good hop expression; the dry-hopping definitely seems to add a nice layer. Excellent.

On tap at Horse Brass. Pours clear orange-gold with no head. Plenty of mango and habanero on the nose. Flavour has bitter piney hops, some bright mango accents, and a bit of a kick from the habanero; decent malt base. Actually comes together pretty well.
