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.

7% ABV. Slightly mild aromas of citrus, resin, sweat and onion. Flavors are similar to nose, on the sweet side with enough carbonation and bitter to balance. Citrus comes out a little more. Decent but not great

22 oz. bottle, pours black with a small tan head. Aroma is full of amburana wood, light bourbon, and a touch of dark sugars. Flavour is somewhat boozy, with boozy bourbon, light amburana, and some dark sugars. Lightly boozy, nicely woody finish. Not the most refined but pleasant enough.
