Nearly in the homestretch, Reuben's Brews shares details regarding three fun festivals and their upcoming anniversary party.
With optimism on the horizon in Spring 2022, the ownership and staff at Reuben’s Brews are looking forward to their 10th year with a return to in-person festivals, this late-Spring/Summer. Focusing on themes, the brewery will flex their muscles and their hospitality by featuring beers that are hazy, inspired by the Rhineland, friendship, and yeah their 10th anniversary.
“Festivals are a fun way for us beer lovers to explore beer and learn more about what we enjoy,” says Grace. “We love putting these festivals on at Reuben’s Brews because it’s core to our DNA to brew a wide variety of beers, and we love helping people find their next adventure on their beer journey.”

May 14th. Haze Fest
On Saturday, May 14th, Haze Fest returns to the taproom, showcasing the brewery’s depth and breadth, towards producing hazy ipas. During this one-day event, look for many familiar recipes, side-by-side with novel approaches to this popular style. Also, keep your eye out for hazy ipas, infused with ingredients, like a tiki cocktail. As always, the brewery will also host several beers from friends of the brewery.
June 25th. Lager Fest.
As the weather (hopefully) improves, and the days are their longest, Reuben’s Brews transports the beer hall of Germany to Ballard, as they invite you to sample styles once only found in Germany. With the focus on light and refreshing lagers, including Pilsner, Helles, and Světlé Pivo. Doors open late Saturday morning and like Haze Fest, this is an all ages event.
July 16th. Reuben’s & Friends Invitational.
Moving along into July, Reuben’s Brews will host their “Reuben’s & Friends Invitational” on July 16th. Like previous years, this is a unique opportunity for you to sample beers from outside of Seattle. Details are still being ironed out, but look for around 15 guest breweries in attendance, sharing draft and jockey boxes with Reuben’s Brews.
August 6th. Anniversary Block Party.
Finally, the brewery is looking forward to their 10th anniversary party. Shutting down the block, the brewery will not only have plenty of beers for grabs but also the last of their 10th anniversary collaborations, one from their Reuben’s Crew Mug Club and another (something just as special) from the employees of the brewery.
“We want to take this opportunity to thank our community who have been supporting us throughout this journey,” says Adam. “Our anniversary party is our chance to express gratitude to those who have been with us each step of the way—the customers who made everything possible, our friends in the industry whose support was invaluable, our suppliers whose awesome ingredients make our beers, and the neighborhood of Ballard who put their arms around us when we opened.”
