Reuben’s Brews Lager Fest 2026: A Celebration of Crisp, Crushable Beer

To celebrate the craftsmanship, precision, and pure crushability of our favorite clear beers, we are giving them a festival of their own across both of our taprooms!
Join us on Saturday, July 18th for Lager Fest. Whether you visit us in Ballard or head to our Downtown Seattle taproom, you’ll find a massive tap takeover dedicated to exceptional lager styles, ranging from traditional favorites to experimental batches. To match the festival energy, both locations will be serving a specially curated food pairing: smoked beer kielbasa with savory fennel sauerkraut.
Choose Your Taproom Experience:
Downtown Seattle Taproom: The ultimate destination for variety, featuring an impressive lineup of 10+ distinct lagers on tap simultaneously.
Ballard Taproom: A near-complete tap takeover paired with live local music performing in the beer garden from
Nick Howrey | 3 – 5:00 p.m.
The Shed Boys | 6 – 8:00 p.m.
The fun starts right when the taproom opens at 11:00 AM. No tickets or reservations are necessary. Grab your friends, family, and pups, and come enjoy a crisp pint with the “r” crew. Prost!
