Adam Robbings

Since moving from the UK in 2004, Adam Robbings was blown away by the diversity and quality of the brews in the Pacific Northwest. As a home brewer, Adam and Grace poured their beer at the 2010 PNA Winter Beer Taste and won First Place in the People's Choice. Then the brewing bug took over and Adam continued to hone his craft and he won several more awards, including a Silver Medal at the 2012 National Homebrew Competition, and attended UC Davis. This all led to the desire to share his brews with more people and the opening of Reuben's Brews in August 2012. They are a small, family-owned brewery located in the Ballard neighborhood of Seattle, WA. Since opening in August 2012, they have won recognition for their brews. They won two medals at the 2015 Great American Beer Festival awards, a Gold medal at the 2015 World Beer Cup, they have been awarded 30 World Beer Championships medals, and they were named “Mid-Sized Brewery of the Year” at the 2015 Washington Beer Awards.  They have also won 5 medals at the Australian International Beer Awards, 4 medals at the North American Brewing Awards, and they were a top 10 brewery in both the 2014 and 2013 US Open.
