Reuben’s Brews 2020 Beer Lineup
Seattle’s Reuben’s Brews announced its 2020 beer lineup today, featuring a new year-round beer joining the core offerings and several series and seasonal updates. Not surprisingly, IPAs of various kinds make up a big part of the schedule, and there’s plenty of good stuff coming for the year.
Here is the release:
Reuben’s Brews, a family-owned and operated Pacific Northwest Brewery, today unveiled its beer release schedule for 2020. Adding to the breadth of its beer portfolio, having released more than 170 beers last year, Reuben’s Brews is introducing a new year-round IPA as well as two new series of seasonal releases to its 2020 calendar.
Mind the Gap! IPA is joining the lineup of year-round beers Crikey IPA, Pilsner, Hazealicious IPA, and Robust Porter, while the Seasonal IPA roster will remain the same as 2019, featuring Bits & Bobs, Summer IPA and Moreish IPA.
Reuben’s Brews will also release the following innovative highlights in 2020:
New Year-Round Beer: Mind the Gap!
Mind the Gap! is a highly drinkable and crisp India Pale Ale at 5.3% ABV. Previously available only at the Reuben’s Brews Taproom in Seattle, Mind the Gap! will now be available year-round in cans beginning in March 2020. Perfect for Pacific Northwest adventures, this brew was made for mindfully enjoying the “gaps” in the day.Reuben’s Crush® Series Becomes a Year-Round Seasonal
Reuben’s Crush® Series, previously only available in limited release, joins the calendar as a seasonal rotator. The hazy IPAs in the Reuben’s Crush® Series will be available for distribution in 16-ounce cans and on draft, offering the Pacific Northwest more access to this popular line of hazy IPAs than ever before.New Series: Unbound Series
This new 22-ounce bottle lineup puts innovative twists on year-round brews by unleashing them with extra ingredients and new ideas. The first beer to launch in the series in January 2020 is Bloody Crikey, a blood-orange version of the popular Crikey IPA. In March, More Bits & Bobs will follow as an imperial version of the winter/spring seasonal IPA. Other seasonal beers in the Unbound Series include Lemon Lime Pilsner, Hazealicious P.O.G., Autumn Harvest and Reuben Claus.Small Batch and Sour Series Join the New Breadth Series
Reuben’s Brews will continue to release a variety of beers from its three breweries (5bbl, 15bbl, and 30bbl), including yearly releases of classic beers like Holiday Gose, Festbier, and Blimey That’s Bitter!, amongst many others. The Sour Series and Small Batch Series beers from 2019 will continue to be released once yearly as part of the Breadth Series.
170 beers last year! I’m old enough to remember when Breakside releasing 100 in one year was considered crazy… At any rate, it looks like a good lineup. The Unbound Series looks especially promising, though I’d love more info on Autumn Harvest and Reuben Claus.
