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!

Dark brown, opaque colour, brownish small head. Roasted aroma has tobacco and dark bread. Medium-bodied. Toasted flavour has licorice and ash. Combination is quite medicinal, even a bit mentholy. A bit weird.

extremely hazy bright orange colour, minimal off-white head; aroma of tropical fruits like pineapple, mango and passion fruit, grapefruity-citrussy notes, some overripe watery peach and biscuits; taste is basically the same with a bit less intensity; spicy-celery aftertaste; great IPA!
