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.

Hazy golden color. Nice IPA, dry and light, well hopped, with more hop resin character, but also some hop fruitiness; strong and long final.

Draught at the brewery
Cloudy blond color. The aroma is mildly spicy, coriander, fresh. The mouthfeel is dry, the flavor crispy, and it has a nice spicy touch.
It’s a pleasant spicy weizen, well hopped too.

Draught at the brewery
Hazy dark amber color with creamy head. It has some character of Dunkelweizen, but it’s a bit too yeasty, mainly the aroma. The rye has some value, there is some banana and clove, but in the end it’s an ordinary beer.

Draught at the brewery
Dark color, almost black, with compact beige head. Aroma of roasted malt, light coffee, some cardboard. The mouthfeel is fairly dry, not as strong as expected; the roasted malt dominates, there is just a hint of chocolate, and some molasses. Strange.

Draught at the brewery
Dark color, almost black, with brownish head. There are roasted malts (aroma and flavor), maybe some dark chocolate, but the body is not as full as expected, the flavors not powerful, not much residual sweetness, a bit of cardboard.
Sub-par Imperial Stout.

Draft at the brewery. Love this style. Banana aroma with some sweet malt. Banana and clove flavors definitely present. Really nutty too. Drinks easy with a semi -sweet bread. Love this beer.

On tap at Reuben's, pours a deep dark reddish brown / near-black with a medium tan head. Aroma brings out cocoa, a little roast, and slight dark fruitiness. Flavour is fruity and cocoay, with some roasted malt, dark fruits and cocoa. Fantastically well-balanced, with no jagged edges. Delicious.

On tap at Reuben's, pours a clear pale golden with a small white head. Aroma is quite tangy, with piney hops, some tangy tropical fruits, and light citrus zest. Flavour is very tangy and hoppy as well, with loads of tropical fruity hops, citrus hops, and some zest. Super flavourful, with loads of tropical fruitiness and tangy hops. Excellent.
