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.

On tap at Reuben's, pours a clear copper with a small white head. Aroma brings out a mix of piney hops and earthy tea notes. Flavour is along the same lines, with robust floral and piney hops, followed by intense earthy tea notes. Not my favourite combination but it works very well. Solid, though I much prefer the base beer.

On tap at Reuben's, pours a clear golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out earthy bready notes but not any of the coffee. Flavour is dry, with earthy notes and a touch of coffee that isn't very prominent. Kind of meh, but inoffensive. Okay.

Bomber from Total Wine in Lynnwood, WA. Pours dark brn/blk with a tan head. Aromas of chocolate, fruit and resin. Med + body. Flavor is smooth chocolaty dark malt with some definite resin. Fruit? It seems a bit on the sweetish side, but there’s certainly hop and bitter, so maybe it’s balanced. What a thought. Finishes hoppy and a resin chocolate.
