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 pale yellow with a small white head. Aroma is pretty faint, with some light creamsicle and cereal malt. Flavour is very similar, bringing out cereal, hay, and light herbal notes. Smooth, light and refreshing, just not very interesting, as expected for the style. Decent.

light body and fairly innocuous and kinda got lost with all the Rye beers and hopped up beers we were having. Maybe best as a starter

Bottle - Very sweet with hints of tropical fruit and mandarin. Clear gold with a thin head. Intense mandarin and bitterness. Big bold flavours, maybe a bit too much.

On tap at Reuben's Brews, pours a clear pale yellow with a small white head. Aroma of light rye, banana and slight fruitiness. Flavour brings out light rye, a little clove, a little banana, and some dry fruitiness. Very dry and light on the palate. Doesn't really strike me as a rye beer, as the rye notes are really light and subtle. This is more of a summer beer - difficult to drink when it's 0C outside. Solid stuff.

On tap at Reuben's Brews, pours a hazy dark golden with a medium white head. Nose brings out spicy hops, Belgian yeast, rye and slight pine - very aromatic. Flavour brings out very dry rye notes, some Belgian yeast, and super dry pine. Impeccably well-balanced, with a dryer flavour profile than the regular Imperial Rye IPA. Excellent stuff.

On tap at Brouwer's Cafe for Big Wood 2013, pours an opaque dark mahogany with a small beige head. Aroma of dry wood, dry caramel and alcohol. Flavour brings out loads of caramel, dry wood, and whiskey barrels. Not the most complex beer, but decently well-balanced. Decent stuff.

22oz bottle pours out a nice copper topped with a sand head. Aroma of citrus hops ccaramel sweetness and some rich malts. Taste is more of the citrus rye caramel and a grape fruit bitterness on the end.

Bottle thanks to glkaiser! Bottling date 10/21/13. Pours hazy orange with a small off-white head, dissipates quickly with decent lacing. Aroma is citrus, passionfruit, cat piss, pine resin. Flavor is the same, light sweet and light bitter increasing to medium on the finish. Medium body, oily mouthfeel, kinda harsh, which detracts from an otherwise nice beverage.
