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 a craft beer shop at Kos. BB 21.01.2024. Yellow like orange juice with a small one finger white head in the glass. Intensive grape and orange with a lot of yeast on the nose. Taste starts with hop bitterness, orange fruity and a lot of sweetness. Yeasty. Not as alcoholic as expected. Better beer of the day.

0,5 l can from a craft beer shop at the island of Kos. BB 05/2024. Murky yellow golden with a small one finger white head in the glass. Strange aroma, caramel with grain and sour fruity elements. Taste ist also grainy, bitter hop, dry fruity elements with some sourness. Below average carbonated. Can not convince.

0,5 l can from a Craft Shop at the island of Kos. Juicy yellow in the glass with a nearly two finger white head. Intensive orange fruity aroma, grape and yeast. Taste starts intensive dry with Sorachi Ace. I´m not a fan of this hop. A lot of yeast and pale grain. Experimentel and solid crafted stuff but not really my cup of tea.

Can. Color: Black, brown head. Aroma: Licquorice, Whiskey notes, roasted malt. Taste: A lot of liquorice, boozy, oak wood, Soy sauce, earthy, Whiskey, hints of vanilla. Full body, below average carbonation. A bit harsh and unbalanced. Over moderate sweet, moderate to over moderate bitterness. Ok but no winner for me.
