About
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!
Later batches brewed at Alea (Metamorphosis), since 2025 Strange Brews has their own brewing facility in Peristeri.

440ml can, MH 2026 tasting, thx F&L! Lightly hazy paaaaale shiny yellow body... Misconception no. 1 - Czech Pilsners frequently have a certain percentage of a darker malt (color, body, taste etc.), they generally aren't 100% floor malted pilsner malt. The aroma is definitely Czech or Czechoid hops, herbal and lemony mostly, bit minerally. Extremely dried out taste, there's some bug in here sadly. Herbal and citric hops, actually some rougher herbal bitterness there, which I prefer to the no-bitterness idiocy. Hmm... this has promise, I'd be crushing these in Greece no problem!

Can courtesy of Kostas, Kykao brewery, cheers Kostas! Had this Saturday 14th February at the Manglham 2nd Winter Tasting listening to The Orb - Buddhist Hipsters. Pours clear silvery gold in colour with a very light haze. Nice hoppiness on the nose, lemony mouthfeel, nicely bitterness, streaky with a dry finish, in terms of authenticity yeah it's probably missing the target a bit but I am enjoying it and would be happy drinking a few of these. Score 7.5

Can courtesy of Kostas, Kykao brewery, cheers Kostas. Had this Saturday 14th February at the Manglham 2nd Winter Tasting listening to Anthony Szmierek - Service Station at the End of the Universe. Pours light lemony colour, hazy, nothing exciting but absolutely fine, refreshing and would be much better in the summer, straightforward but fine. Score 7.0

Can at MR 2026, thx Fin! Hazy yellow body, off-white head, okay sized, medium retention. The aroma is NZ wild herb-forward, leaning on onions, some white grapes and citrus pop up underneath. Heavily oniony taste, backed by garlic, low citrus notes, dryish finish... Almost west coastish, and I'm not sure that was intentional. The beer isn't bad, it's just that the Nelson used wasn't the best Nelson, I guess.

Can. Milky banana golden. Tropical something (and Giuancale, but that's because of the cooking going on). Nice, bitter, fruity oily. Like.
