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.

Opaque, fruity, some stone fruit, moderate bitterness, decent. I probably overrated it slightly since it was a hot day and a long bike ride.

Hazy, pale, not much head. Brett up front, some phenols, the paint thinner or cleaner varietal. Medium body. Light bitterness of aged hop…basically they aimed for lambic, but the wild ferment went in that phenolic direction and they couldn’t blend their way out of it. Everything else works, though.

355mL can, pours a hazy dull blonde with a small white head. Aroma has some unfermented wort, straw, and a touch of hoppy bitterness. Flavour is much the same, with unfermented wort, straw, dull hops, and murky bready malt. Passable, but too much unfermented wort character and not bitter enough. Meh.

Hazy but dull. Medium head. Bright fruity aroma, sort of a drier character with thin malts. The hops aren’t as bright on the palate as they are on the nose.

Pours quite pale, dull. Somewhat worty and with a light hop character. Touch of bitterness. Passable, but certainly not upper tier for non-alcoholic pils.

2024/2025 vintage. 7% ABV. 750 ml bottle. Pours a dull amber with moderate head. Aromas of Brett, pithy citrus, apricots and wheaty malts. Flavors of tart white grapes, Brett, melons, citrus and wheaty malts. The sharpness with Brett in background really makes this beer. Very good.

Poured from the tap @ Strange Fellows. Lightly hazed yellow gold with small white head. Dry saison yeast with just some mild spelt quality, quite peppery with very feint tangy hops and wild yeast expression. Okay.

On tap at Strange Fellows, pours a clear bright golden with a small white head. Aroma has spicy saison yeast, plenty of husky grains from the spelt, a touch of funk, and light tanginess. Flavour has plenty of tangy hops, a bunch of mixed bugs, and light spiciness from the spelt. A bit husky from the spelt but the tanginess from the Nelson offsets this a bit. Good stuff.

On tap at the brewery. Pours hazy dull gold with a white head. Saison yeast, NZ hops, and some phenols on the nose. The yeast has some nastier bandaid phenols on that palate that muck it up. There is some tangy hop expression, but it's dominated by the phenols. Good carbonation. Great concept, less great execution.
