"At the US Open Beer Championship, Ballard-based Reuben’s Brews earned half of the 19 medals won by Washington breweries, taking gold in the juicy/strong hazy strong pale ale category for Fresh Hop Double Crush, in gose, and in brett beer for Tropical Funk; the judges evaluated about 6,000 beers across 140 styles, and Reuben’s finished fifth on the list of Top 10 breweries." - Gabe Guarente
