About
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.

Autumn Harvest from Reuben's Brews

6.8/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 7 Flavor 7 Texture 6 Overall 7
On tap at Reuben's, pours a hazy dark orange with a small white head. Aroma brings out pumpkin pur�e, some nutmeg and cinnamon. Flavour is quite lovely, with pumpkin pur�e and cinnamon. Quite a potent flavour which is never too intrusive. Very solid.

Crikey IPA from Reuben's Brews

Draft pour pint at the Wilde Rover. Pours a dark copper color with almost no head. Very nice tropical fruit aroma. Flavor starts off a bit bitter, but switches to a blast of tropical fruit. Very juicy. Mango for sure. Solid hop finish. Unique IPA for sure. Bitter hops linger forever here. Awesome stuff. Reubens does good with just about everything they do. Not surprised to see another solid brew here.

Summer IPA from Reuben's Brews

7.4/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 7 Flavor 7 Texture 8 Overall 7.5
Draft pour pint at the 192 lake trail taproom. Pours a cloudy orange color with a thin patchy head. Orange fruit and hops fronted aroma. Flavor is creamy, with some bitter hops towards the finish. Good, but not great. Update: my second experience with this beer was much better than the first. Deserves the rerate, though I’ll take the original into consideration. Draft pint at Frankies. Very nice hop character and a cool finish. Very refreshing. Fitting for the season. Enjoyed this.

Bottle thanks to Daren! Pours a clear gold with an off white head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma is full of citrus with a touch of grapefruit, earthiness and a light sweet grain backbone. Flavor has bitter sweet citrus with some sweet grains and a light earthiness underlying.

Imperial IPA - Tea Time from Reuben's Brews
11 years ago
7.4/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 8 Flavor 7 Texture 8 Overall 7.5
Draft - Lots of nice sweet caramel malts with a nice nondescript hop. Clearish gold with a decent white head. Sweet caramel, interesting sweetness and bitterness, that is likely the teas and a bit of an astringent finish.
