Description
Strange Brew was established in late 2015, when three friends and homebrewers decided that plastic buckets were no longer enough, and was officially introduced to the fans of craft beer on May 2017, with Jasmine IPA. We started our journey from Laconiki Brewery near the ancient city of Sparta, where we also produced three more beers under the name of Uncle Jam's Brewhouse Tales, which is our alternate one-off project. Being a true nomadic brewery,we now produce our beers at Chios Microbrewery on the namesake island. Uncompromising by default, Strange Brew is on it's way to change the beer status in Greece,which has come a long way already!

0,33 l bottle from Melete Craft Beer Bar, Rhodes. Like thick orange juice in the glass, one finger white head. Strong tropical hop smell. Taste starts with an intensive hop bitterness, tropical fruits, some yeast and grain. Some decent bitterness in the second row. Complex stuff. Nice.

29/6/2019. On tap at the Strange Brew Taproom, Athens. Pours thick and black with a large tan coloured head. Aroma of rich chocolate, toffee, molasses, roasted malt, dark fruits, hops, chocolate biscuit and light liquorice. Medium sweetness and moderate roasted bitterness. Full body, slick texture, soft carbonation. Very good from tap (better than bottled which was still good but lacked the intensity of it when served from keg).
