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 The Beer Junction, pours a clear pale golden blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out dank hops, some piney hops, and biscuity malt. Flavour is dank and piney, with lots of weedy hops, pine, and crisp biscuity malt. Weedy, piney, and crisp. Excellent.

On tap at Reuben's, pours a cloudy muddled amber with a small beige head. Aroma brings out rich bourbon barrels, toffee, toasted caramel, and bready malt. Flavour is complex and boozy, with a huge bourbon and boozy character, toffee, caramel and bready malt. Lots of barrel and huge malt finish. A bit rough but well-made. Very good.

On tap at Reuben's, pours a cloudy muddled amber with a small white head. Aroma is problematic, with herbal and vegetal notes, a hint of grape must. Flavour is fucked up, with rotting vegetal notes, a hint of grape must, and some chaotic grassiness. Vegetal and rotting finish. This is very bad.

On tap at Reuben's, pours an opaque, extremely ugly peachy yellow with a small white head - when a beer looks like this, there's little chance it can be good. Aroma is full of chalk, hopburn and a touch of dank. Flavour is egregious, with chalk galore, hopburn, and some dankness. Harsh, chalky, hopburny. This is really weak. Bad job, Reuben's.

On tap at Reuben's, pours a clear pale golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out butterscotch, some resinous hops, and bready malt. Flavour is bitter, with earthy hops, pronounced bitterness, and crisp biscuity malt. The hops aren't quite right. Not a great hop expression. Meh.

On tap at Reuben's, pours a clear muddled cooper, barely any head. Aroma is full of herbal, gin barrels, floral notes, and a hint of wild yeast. Flavour is full of shitty gin, herbal botanicals, perfumey cleaner, and a hint of buried wild stuff. Man, that's just not good. Bad gin, perfumey, botanical-y. Poor.

On tap at Reuben's, pours a minimally hazy pale golden blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out plenty of funky brett, straw, and sweaty notes. Flavour is very brett, with gently sweet Belgian yeast, doughy malt, and a touch of oak. Nice brett character. Good stuff.
