Reuben's Brews

Just in time for summer, beer lovers will have another Reuben’s Brews creation to take along on their adventures – in cans. Crikey IPA (pronounced Cry-key) will make its debut in 6-packs of 12 oz. cans in the Reuben’s Brews Taproom on June 10. It will hit the shelves of local stores beginning June 14.

Brewed as the official beer of the 2016 Seattle Beer Week, the Daily Pale will make its debut in 12oz cans on April 11 at the Reuben’s Brews taproom and in stores throughout the Seattle area. It won’t be on tap however until after the official ceremony to kick off Seattle Beer Week onMay 12 in Reuben’s taproom.

It’s east of the Cascades meets west on the brew deck! Last month, Yakima’s Bale Breaker Brewing Company traveled to Seattle’s Reuben’s Brews to create brewing magic. The result? Collabeeration India Pale Lager (IPL), which makes its debut on Tuesday, March 22 in the Reuben’s Brews taproom at 5010 14th Ave NW in Seattle.

Reuben’s Brews is adding something new to its beer family – cans! Chosen to provide another packaging option for on-the-go beer lovers, last month Reuben’s installed its brand new American-made canning line built by Colorado’s Wild Goose Canning at its 5010 14th Ave location. This new system will initially allow production of 70 cases an hour, with future upgrade capabilities.

Blimey, it’s back! Reuben’s Brews’ popular Blimey That’s Bitter! Triple IPA is returning for its annual release, February 6, 2016 at noon at a release party at the Reuben’s Brews Taproom in Ballard. This much-anticipated beer won Best Imperial IPA in the Pacific Northwest at the 2014 US Beer Tasting Championships.

Beer fans near and far will soon be able to enjoy Reuben’s Brews. This month, the Ballard brewery signed an agreement with Bellingham’s Dickerson Distributors to bring Reuben’s bottles and draft beer to Whatcom, Skagit, Island and San Juan Counties.

Reuben’s Brews is excited to announce that we won two medals at the Great American Beer Festival awards held last weekend! Our Gose was honored with a gold medal in the competitive German-Style Sour category, and our Dry Stout won the bronze in the Classic Irish-Style Dry Stout category. The Dry Stout is available in the taproom now, and the Gose, which made its debut earlier this year, will return in late October.

This weekend Reuben’s Brews was named Mid-Sized Brewery of the Year at the 2015 Washington Beer Awards. Out of over 700 entries, Reuben’s won Gold Medals for their Foreign Export Stout, Robust Porter, and Black Imperial IPA, and Silver Medals for their Cream Ale and Marzen – the first lager the brewery has ever brewed.

At noon on Saturday, May 9, Reuben’s Brews will open the doors to its new, larger brewery and taproom at 5010 14th Ave NW! The celebration will include special beers from the cellar, complimentary Reuben’s Brews bottle openers for the first 100 people, brewery tours and more. The Burgerphenia food truck will be onsite as well.

Reuben’s Brews is thrilled to welcome its new Head Experimental Brewer. On April 1, Dean Mochizuki, currently Head Brewer at Seattle’s venerable Pike Brewing Company, will take the reins of the new barrel house and small-batch brewery, which will be located at the brewery’s current Ballard space.
