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.

Barn Raising from Reuben's Brews

5/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 5 Flavor 5 Texture 4 Overall 5
On tap at Reuben's - Ballard, pours a clear pale golden blonde with a medium white head. Aroma has lots of estery saison yeast, some bubblegum, and grainy notes. Flavour is less estery, with grainy notes, and biscuity malt. A bit rough, a bit estery, and not particularly on style. Meh.

5.9/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 6 Flavor 6 Texture 4 Overall 5.5
On tap at Reuben's - Ballard, pours a clear bright orange with a small white head. Aroma has orange zest, citrus hops, and caramel malt — clumsy mix. Flavour is bitter and clumsily integrated, with orange zest, bitter pine, earthiness, and some grainy notes. Poor balance and not great hop expression. It's alright.

Fresh! Peach from Reuben's Brews
2 years ago
5.6/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 6 Flavor 6 Texture 4 Overall 5.5
On tap at Reuben's - Ballard, pours hazy bright golden orange with a small white head. Aroma is bright, with clean, bright peaches, gentle tartness, and a touch of graininess. Flavour is more soda-like, with what I guess would be peach crush. Not much else to speak of. Weird.

Double Crush - Fresh Hop from Reuben's Brews
2 years ago
3.4/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 3 Flavor 3 Texture 4 Overall 2.5
On tap at Reuben's - Ballard, pours a cloudy golden orange with a small white head. Aroma is pretty egregious, with tons of hopburn, car exhaust, some chalk, and not much juiciness or dankness — ugh. Flavour has lots of car exhaust, hopburn, chalky and a touch of stone fruit pith. Typical shitty chalky hazy.

On tap at Reuben's - Ballard, pours a clear golden blonde with a small white head. Aroma has lots of fresh doughy malt with a touch of grassy hops. Flavour is clean, with fresh doughy malt, very light hopping, and some straw. Doughy and clean; not a crisp finish but still fairly dry. Solid.
