Reuben's Brews
Microbrewery
in Seattle,
Washington,
United States 🇺🇸
Associated with 2 Venues
Established in 2012
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.

12oz can from The Grapevine. Cloudy golden pour, frothy white head. Musty aroma, citrus, some tropical notes. Taste is earthy, fruity, tropical, melon.

Dark brown, boozy and rich, some headsy phenols from the barrel. Lots of sugar. The base stout is on the sweet side, doesn’t have a complex malt character. It’s decent but definitely a bit too boozy for me.

Dark brown, no head. Medium body, some sweetness, light peanut. Off-dry, light peanut. It’s okay, lots of bourbon, thick malt. So not bad but not their best work.

Pale, gold, effervescent. Thin head, the nose is appley so not to style. It’s okay, medium body, some gloppy malt like they really are far from nailing this.

Amber, hazy, thin head, looks not good. Oh this is a cardamom bomb, and I am not okay with that, it’s harsh. I was expecting a classic Scandinavian winter bock, did not receive that.

Dull, hazy, medium head. Soft malt, slice of alcohol and a bit of orange. It's okay.

Opaque and pale, thick head. Sweet, kiwi and underripe piña, malt is meh. Overall, doesn't do much for me.

On tap at Reuben’s, pours black with a small tan head. Aroma has intense cognac barrels, followed by cocoa, and some roast. Flavour is spirit-forward, with intense cognac, light roast, and gentle cocoa. Intense, complex and pretty nicely refined. Excellent.

On tap at Reuben’s, pours an opaque dark orange with a small white head. Aroma has strawberry, white chocolate and cocoa, but kind of dirty. Flavour is reasonably cohesive, with strawberry, white chocolate and cocoa, with a somewhat dirty palate. Decent.
