Englishman Adam Robbings’ beer recipes killed at homebrew competitions, including winning the silver medal at the National Homebrewing Competition in 2012, and his talent, along with a Kickstarter campaign that raised close to $11,000, eventually earned him, and his wife, Grace, their own brewery — Reuben’s Brews officially opened in Seattle’s Ballard district in August 2012, which they named after their son, Reuben. Since then, the team has accrued an astounding number of accolades, including many World Beer Cup medals including a gold this year for their Three Ryes Men barleywine. Reuben’s has released several beers in the last two weeks, which is a great excuse to offer another Reuben’s Brews beer flight at Peaks & Pints, which we’re calling Peaks and Pints Beer Flight: Reuben’s.
Peaks and Pints Beer Flight: Reuben’s
Reuben’s Gose-a-rita
4.3% ABV
Reuben’s put a citrus twist on their award-winning Reuben’s Gose — Gose-a-rita. Made with lime, lime zest, sea salt, and coriander, this fruited gose is refreshingly tart with a vibrant salinity and a bright note of lime.
Reuben’s Dry Stout
4.9% ABV
A traditional Irish-style dry stout and one of five beers Reuben’s Brews tapped on their opening day, the GABF medal-winner Dry Stout is smooth and creamy with notes of dark coffee, roasted malt, toasted bread, and bittersweet chocolate.
Reuben’s Up the Bridges!
5.5% ABV
Up The Bridges! American Pale Ale is the fifth release in the Reuben’s Brews 10th Anniversary Collaboration Series, brewed in collaboration with the folks at Ballard FC. Reuben’s Brews is the title sponsor for the inaugural season of our neighborhood’s first ever USL2 soccer team. Up The Bridges! is the battle-cry of the new team, in reference to the iconic Ballard Bridge located a few blocks from Reuben’s taproom. This American Pale Ale with a special blend of brand-new and tried-and-true hops including HBC 1019 and Cashmere alongside Michigan Chinook and Cascade.
Reuben’s Galaxy Crush
6% ABV
Loaded with Southern Hemisphere Galaxy hops, plus Simcoe and Citra, this hazy IPA has punchy and juicy notes of peach, mango, orange, and white grapefruit.
Reuben’s Double Crikey
8.5% ABV
Ten years ago, Reuben’s Brews brewed its first batch of Crikey IPA, the Seattle brewery’s first American-style IPA. Since then, it has become Reuben’s most highly decorated beer. Double Crikey is a bigger, bolder version of our flagship IPA loaded with a blend of American hops that lend notes of citrus, pine, and tropical fruit.
