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 brews, pours a clear yellow with a small white head. Aroma is light and crisp, with plenty of biscuit, crackery malt and a mild hoppiness. Flavour is light and super-refreshing, with some subtle light fruitiness, crackery malt, and sweet corn (but in a good way). Well-balanced. Nice, soft carbonation - really well-made kolsch.

On tap at Reuben's brews, pours a cloudy, murky dark orangey amber with a small off-white head. Aroma of dry caramel malts, medium pronounced hoppiness, and some metallic overtones. Flavour of citrusy, floral hops, dry roasted caramel malts. Almost reminds me of a black IPA, due to the roast. Surprisingly excellent red ale - one of the best.

On tap at Reuben's brews, pours a deep dark brown with a pronounced amber tinge and a small tan head. Aroma of light coffee, chocolate malts and some light roast. Flavour of dry cocoa powder, light espresso and some burnt roasted malt. Thin and light-bodied, as porters are, but well-flavoured. Finishes roasty and slightly bitter.

On tap at Reuben's brews, pours a deep dark amber with a small beige head. Nose is reminiscent of a black IPA, with loads of roast and a bit of dry hops. Flavour is similarly like a black IPA, with medium roasted malt, mild hops and bitter chocolate. Full-flavoured and light-bodied. Delicious.

On tap at Reuben's brews, pours a clear golden copper with a small white head. Aroma of light wood, crisp crackery malt, and a very light hop profile. Flavour is fairly woody, with some dry caramel and biscuit malts. Light and wood; not the most easy drinking due to the woodiness, but solid nonetheless.

On tap at Reuben's brews, pours a clear copper with a small white head. Aroma of rye, clove, banana & slight spices - very light aroma though. Flavour brings out banana, clove and rye upfront, finishing with dominating banana notes. Surprisingly full-flavoured while remaining light-bodied and easily drinkable. Really good.
