Reuben’s Brews Planning For Life On Mars

This morning brings exciting news out of Reuben’s Brews in Seattle, Washington, as the brewery prepares to launch a cosmic new seasonal release. The beer, appropriately named Life On Mars, is a seasonal red IPA designed to blend rich malt character with the bold hop profile that Reuben’s fans expect. With its celestial theme and vibrant flavor profile, Life On Mars is poised to become one of the standout seasonal IPAs in the brewery’s 2026 lineup.

Life On Mars will ride in at 6.5% ABV and 65 IBU, offering a balanced yet hop‑forward drinking experience. Expect a deep red hue, layers of caramel and toasted malt, and a bright burst of citrus‑driven hop aroma. This style has long been a favorite among IPA drinkers who appreciate a malt backbone, and Reuben’s interpretation promises to deliver both complexity and drinkability. The brewery’s reputation for clean, expressive hop character makes this release especially intriguing for fans of red IPAs and seasonal craft beer offerings.

The beer will be packaged in 12‑oz cans, making it an easy pickup for both longtime Reuben’s supporters and curious IPA drinkers looking for something new. As with many of the brewery’s seasonal releases, Life On Mars is expected to be available for a limited time, adding to the excitement surrounding its arrival.

Stay tuned for full 2026 release details, distribution updates, and tasting notes as Reuben’s Brews prepares to launch Life On Mars Red IPA into the craft beer universe.

Label Text Reuben’s Brews Life On Mars:
