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 - Ballard, pours a cloudy deep dark mahogany with a small pink head. Aroma is full of intense jammy boysenberries, gentle wild yeast, and a touch of balsamic. Flavour is jammy, with lots of dry boysenberries, lots of brett, and very low residual sweetness. Really great combo of boysenberry and brett. Excellent.

Pale amber, not much head. Really nice weedy character. Fresh, with a light pale malt base. Well-integrated.

Looks like there were a couple of vintages of this on tap, one marked as Heaven Hill, which is always is. Both were excellent. Dark brown, thin head. Rich, oxidized, toasty, toffeeish, not especially thick but it does have a lot of toasty barrel character. 8 4 8 4 16 = 4.0 BBIS Heaven Hill Dark brown, thin head, chocolate, vanilla, refined heaven hill, on the sweet side but just sufficiently balanced. Quality. 8 4 8 4 17 = 4.1

Hazy, thick head, slightly dull, kinda bland, not getting much hop, low bitterness and the malt base offers nothing.

Greyish and opaque, greenish hop nose. Chalky, can'�t distinguish any hop expression -like what hop is in there? Could be anything.

Looks not great, dull pale amber, big gin botanical aroma, juniper, cardamom, black pepper. On the palate, sourish, slick and buttery -some shit gone wrong here. Slimy. Fuck.
