Description
We are an East Vancouver craft brewery inspired by tradition and creativity, and go beyond the ordinary to celebrate that which is strange* and extraordinary. The beer we make is influenced both by old world traditions and West coast ingenuity as well as by seasonal ingredients. Our barrel programme promises unique aged beers, and we have a bit of a thing for sour beer.

Bottle pour at Strange Fellows. Pours black with a tan head. Loads of bourbon and coffee on the nose. Flavour has a good punch of bourbon, slightly acidic coffee. Great bourbon BA stout.

On tap at Strange Fellows. Pours murky dull ruddy orange with a small white head. Tart berries and lacto on the nose. Flavour has a sad base of mixed berries and white sugar with some tart lacto. What's the point in aiming for mediocrity?

On tap at Strange Fellows. Pours clear pale gold with a white head. Pine, citrus, tangy berries on the nose; a bit like detergent. Flavour has crisp pine, citrus, berries. Still has that detergent quality. Nice hoppy bite. Decent WC IPA.

750 ml bottle. Pours a dark reddish brown with moderate tan head. Aromas of oaky bourbon and toasted malts. Flavors of boozy and oaky bourbon, a bit of marzipan, postage stamp and toasted malts. Pretty boozy, lacking depth and could use some sweetness. More like a Strong Ale than a Stout...

Dark brown, a bit murky but with a robust head. Chocolate and boozy bourbon, this is rough around the edges. Yeah, crazy rough and boozy. Definitely aged less than 48 months, so I kind of hope they have some ancient barrels set aside. I mean, good base, ok treatment, but two steps below top class.

Slight haze, medium head, dullish pale. Piney, light citrus, some yeast. Quite bitter. Yeasty, again, a citrus and pine thing. It’s the yeastinessof the underlying beer that misses for me.

Slight haze, medium head. Aroma is piney, orangey and a little bit yeasty. Palate has that same yeastiness, with hearty bitterness and a grapefruit accent. Quality.

650mL bottle, pours black with a large tan head. Aroma has a nice roasted malt character, gentle wood, and robust hops. Flavour is robust, with lots of roasted malt, wood, and big hoppy bitterness. The barrel character is low-quality, but the base saves this. Still nice despite the barrel.
