Reuben's Sightglass is an insight into the people who live their craft - those who are on the cutting edge. Led by Adam Robbings, Co-Founder and Brewmaster, and Matt Lutton, Marketing Manager, of Reuben's Brews in Seattle, WA, we go on a journey to understand what makes someone's craft better than just good. Because good isn't good enough. We will speak to people from within the world of beer and outside - unbound by industry, actively seeking insight from people we respect across a wide variety of backgrounds. All craft can learn from all craft. We aim to understand the key elements of art in excellence - what drives people, what excites them, as well as understanding and appreciating their struggles on their journeys. We will provide a sightglass into this world.
