There is nothing ‘STRANGE’ about this collab, pardon the pun, with about 25% of the Garage workforce coming from or very close to Buenos Aires in Argentina, it is ‘STRANGE’ that we have not done a collab with anyone from over there yet. The last few times that our very own Nahuel has been home visiting family, he has always come back with a couple of bottles of beers from these guys – Strange Brewing. So the seed was planted, the idea was batted about over there been the guys, then we made it a reality.
They are mad for Racoons, also very well known for making smashable sessionable beers, it’s the quality and quantity that they love. So we opted for a style that we also fell in love with 2 years ago, a WEST COAST PILS.. The hybrid of a west coast ipa and a pilsner. All the hop charge that we love and are known for but fermented at a lower temperature, cleaner yeast profile, to let the malt and hops be the protagonists.
We sometimes have to look back at the classics and acknowledge that they are fucking good, so thankfully we still have some selected ‘Double RR’ Citra in the house, which screams citrus, putting that alongside Simcoe, Centennial & MOSAIC, we have the makings of an all time classic, revamped for 2025.. Citrus, grassy and little dank. Looks like a lager, drinks like a lager but tells your tongue she is from the West Coast and chasing David Hasselhoff down the beach.

Clear gold; white head that fizzles off quickly. Sweet tropical fruit, pine, burnt tire in the aroma. Medium bodied. Similar flavor to the aroma. The tropical fruits come in sideways and kinda screw this up.

44cl can, canned 16/05/2025, BB 16/05/2026.
Dorée/claire col épais crémeux blanc-cassé.
Arôme sur un bouquet centré sur l'apport malté - pils, pas mal d'agrumes en support houblonné - petite touche de résine et de pin qui apportent un côté 'dank'.
Palais sur une belle base de pils - malté, punchy citrus en support - pamplemousse tenace, rondeur tropical gardant une approche maltée de malt pils avec une petite pointe de caramel en retrait. Moyenne.
