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.

22 oz. bottle, pours a fairly clear orangey golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out a burst of piney hops upfront, along with some mineraly notes and crackery malt in back. Flavour is lovely, with loads of piney hops that totally dominate the palate, leaving not much else than a sufficient malt backing to provide balance. A gorgeous piney hop bomb. Excellent stuff.

Sampler. Black body. A little coffee and a lot of bitter malt. But clean and dry. Flavor has faint prune but again very bitter black patent malt. Long bitter finish. Too much black patent.

On tap @ the brewery during 7/5/2014 Seattle beer tour. Pours an orangish brown appearance with a brown head. Definitely get the oats in the nose. Seems a bit sweet and chocolate-y. Flavor is a little twangy. Some plum and red grape notes. Dark chocolate. Pretty fruity. Moderate sweetness and bitterness. One of my last favorites here.

On tap @ the brewery during 7/5/2014 Seattle beer tour. Pours a dark brown appearance with a dark brown head. Earthy, light coffee, mild chocolate aroma. Light roast. Slight cola flavor with a bit of dark fruits. Coffee and moderate roast. Pretty low bitterness and sweetness. I enjoyed the chocolate dry stout so much more that I wonder of this wouldn’t have been better on nitro.

On tap @ the brewery during 7/5/2014 Seattle beer tour. Pours a deep reddish brown appearance with a creamy dark brown head. Aroma smells like Hershey’s cocoa powder with a bit of roast. The flavor is clean, dry, and full of milk chocolate. Nicely done. Served on nitro.

On tap @ the brewery during 7/5/2014 Seattle beer tour. Pours a bit hazy copper appearance with an off white head. Aroma is quite spicy from both the rye and the hops. Some resiny hops. Lots of citrus. Pretty full bodied. The flavor has a lot of spicy rye, sap, and piney hops. High bitterness but balanced pretty well. A bit strong but still pretty tasty.

Medium plus body. Medium plus bitterness. A bit on the malty side but not overly sweet. Well balanced. A lot of grapefruit, orange, and tangerine in the flavor. Pretty good.
