Reuben’s Brews is the most award-winning brewery in Washington – collecting more than 300 medals since opening in 2012. Recently, the brewery took home nine medals at the 2024 U.S. Open Beer Championship, gold for Three Ryes Men at the 2024 World Beer Cup, and the 2025 Alaska Craft Brew and Barley Wine Festival. Winning medals has always been Reuben’s Brews founder Adam Robbings’ thing. The Englishman’s 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 brewery — Reuben’s Brews officially opened in Seattle’s Ballard district in August 2012, which they named after their son, Reuben. Peaks & Pints presents another Reuben’s beer flight, named Peaks & Pints Reuben’s Brews Flight.

Peaks & Pints Reuben’s Brews Flight

Reuben’s Silver Fern

5.6% ABV

Guided by Southern Hemisphere hop varieties Taiheke, Nectaron, and Saphir, this Kiwi-inspired lager is pale and dry with a soft, malty character. Double dry hopped for additional aroma, it offers pineapple, peach, passionfruit, and citrus notes.

Reuben’s Hopshine

5.8% ABV

Inspiring by the Cascades mountains, this clean and clear-as-the-mountain air West Coast pilsner offers punchy fruit character from Luminosa, Krush, and Citra hops.

Reuben’s Crush the Slopes

7% ABV

Crush the Slopes Hazy IPA has a massive run of hops hitting this beer on the cold side, providing a theoretical IBU of zero, extra expressiveness on the nose, and special full-bodied juiciness. It hits the nose with a combination of orange and passionfruit, which carry over to the flavor, plus a bit of a dank note.

Reuben’s Substation

7.2% ABV

Reuben’s production brewery is opposite a major substation in Seattle’s Ballard neighborhood. It provides the power to their beers. The electric hum inspired them to brew something electrifying. Reuben’s combined what they had learned from many different beers into this premium West Coast IPA, Substation. Brewed with Simcoe, Chinook, Citra, Mosaic, Talus, and CTZ, expect hop aromas and flavors of light floral, with hints of oranges, pine, and grapefruit over a malty backbone of caramel, biscuit, toasted malts, and malty sweetness.

Reuben’s Blimey That’s Bitter! (2025)

10.5% ABV

Blimey is a shortening of Gorblimey, a euphemism for “God blind me.” It’s mainly used by the British but occasionally used jocularly by Americans who put on a bad Cockney accent and pair it with words such as guvnor. Blimey, this Reuben’s triple IPA has an intense citrus, pine, and tropical aroma followed by a smooth, medium-full mouthfeel. First brewed in early 2014, Reuben’s Blimey That’s Bitter! sees a ludicrous amount of hops in the whirlpool and a massive charge of cryo hops in the dry hop for a delightfully bitter yet shockingly still balanced and drinkable brew.
