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.

Imperial Oatmeal Stout from Reuben's Brews
12 years ago
7/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 7 Flavor 7 Texture 6 Overall 7
Draught at the brewery
Dark color, almost black, with compact beige head. Aroma of roasted malt, light coffee, some cardboard. The mouthfeel is fairly dry, not as strong as expected; the roasted malt dominates, there is just a hint of chocolate, and some molasses. Strange.

Draught at the brewery
Dark color, almost black, with brownish head. There are roasted malts (aroma and flavor), maybe some dark chocolate, but the body is not as full as expected, the flavors not powerful, not much residual sweetness, a bit of cardboard.
Sub-par Imperial Stout.

Draft at the brewery. Love this style. Banana aroma with some sweet malt. Banana and clove flavors definitely present. Really nutty too. Drinks easy with a semi -sweet bread. Love this beer.

On tap at Reuben's, pours a deep dark reddish brown / near-black with a medium tan head. Aroma brings out cocoa, a little roast, and slight dark fruitiness. Flavour is fruity and cocoay, with some roasted malt, dark fruits and cocoa. Fantastically well-balanced, with no jagged edges. Delicious.

Summer IPA from Reuben's Brews
12 years ago
7.9/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 8 Flavor 8 Texture 8 Overall 7.5
On tap at Reuben's, pours a clear pale golden with a small white head. Aroma is quite tangy, with piney hops, some tangy tropical fruits, and light citrus zest. Flavour is very tangy and hoppy as well, with loads of tropical fruity hops, citrus hops, and some zest. Super flavourful, with loads of tropical fruitiness and tangy hops. Excellent.

Cream Ale from Reuben's Brews

5.4/10 — Appearance 4 Aroma 5 Flavor 6 Texture 6 Overall 5.5
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
