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.

5oz pour at Ballard location. Pours clear blonde with white head. Aroma has bright pine, juicy berries, pale malts. Flavour has bright pine, berries, pale malts. Initial reaction was that it smelled/tasted too much like cleaner, but probably just association with the flavour profile than a negative quality of the beer. Quite good, nice and bright.

5oz pour at Ballard location. Pours murky golden orange with almost no head. Aroma has funky yeast, plums, cheap gin. Flavour has a lot of gin-like aromatics, some plum and wood underneath. If I wanted to drink shitty gin I'd just buy a bottle. This is a mess.

16 oz can from a 4 pack picked up at Kroger. After attending a couple Reubens Oktoberfest events in the past a little surprised to see this one still not rated on my list. Clean and clear golden amber. Spicy and bready malt aroma. Matching flavor, subtle sweetness throughout, cool and clean finish. Easy drinking, and par for the style. Enjoyable brew.
