About
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.

7.1/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 7 Flavor 7 Texture 6 Overall 7.5
On tap at Strange Fellows, pours a cloudy deep orangey brown with a small beige head. Nose is authentic for a dubbel, with a dark dried fruits, bready caramel malt, Belgian yeast and candied sugar. Flavour is similar, with notes of alcohol upfront, followed by toffee, burnt sugar and Belgian yeast. Good amount of sweetness here. A little hot, but it's quite complex and cohesive. Very nice stuff.

Thick haze, yellow-tan. Not much head. The aroma is spicy, with a nice grapefruit character. Light, orangey/tangerine character...such bright citrus. Really refreshing. Maybe a touch thin, and maybe it’s the bike ride talking but this is really refreshing.

Medium brown without much head. Aroma is gentle and a touch roasty. Body is light, it’s toasty and a bit crackery, kind of has a watery coffee character. Easy-drinking, though I might want more sweetness and lactose character.

Draught at the brewery
Murky dark blond color with compact head. Nice hoppy aroma, strong, a bit resiny but mostly fruity, strong orange, some mango, lightly tropical. Good mouthfeel, nice Pale malt flavor, a bit bready and crackery, and very strong hopping, resiny and enough fruity; a bit too much yeast though, hence the finish is a bit heavy.
Dirty but very good.

Draught at the brewery
Cloudy pink-red color with small head. Nice aroma of raspberries, lemon, peach soda. The mouthfeel is very dry; tart, with strong lemon character; fruit punch; in the final, is just a bit too yeasty, which gives wheaty and bready notes, not unpleasant, but make this beer unclean.
Harmonious and with character; very good.

Draught at The Colony, Vancouver
Cloudy pink-red color. The aroma is fruity, but also soapy. The mouthfeel is smooth, sour, a bit fruity, but there is too much yeast and therefore the flavor is very bready, doughy. A little pinch from the pepper.

On tap at Strange Fellows, pours a cloudy pale golden yellow with a small white head. Aroma brings out piney hops upfront, with some biscuity malt, and a touch of floral quality. Flavour is along the same lines, with floral and piney hops, backed by crisp biscuity malt. Very piney and fairly potent, though with minimal bitterness. A really nice, thirst-quenching blond IPA. One of Strange Fellows' best beers.

On tap at Strange Fellows, pours a cloudy pinkish amber with a small white head. Nose brings out fresh strawberries, some lacto and pithy notes. Flavour has the perfect amount of sweetness accompanying the fresh strawberries, a touch of lacto and a touch of pith. Fresh, juicy and highly drinkable. Really great.

On tap at Strange Fellows, pours a cloudy golden orange with a small white head. Aroma brings out a good mix of dry hopping, citrus zest and farmhouse notes. Flavour isn't all that cohesive, featuring citrus dry hopping, farmhouse notes and almost a smoky earthiness. Flavours seem to clash at first, though you get used to the mesh. Not a refined beer, but it's okay.
