OLD WORLD INSPIRED - WEST COAST CRAFTED

ABOUT US

Inspired by tradition and creativity, Strange Fellows is an East Vancouver brewery that celebrates the strange* and extraordinary. The beer we make is influenced both by old world heritage and west coast innovation.

*strange
adjective \ 'stranj\
1. departing from the ordinary, usual or expected
2. extraordinary in character, manner, etc.
3. unique; not known, seen, or experienced before

A Story of What Came Before

WHY STRANGE FELLOWS?

As expectant parents often struggle to find the perfect name for their unborn child, Aaron and Iain laboured to come up with a suitable name for their fledgling brewery. Finally, after months of hashing over lists of names, unable to agree upon a single one, someone declared that they were "just like the odd couple". The rest as they say is history.

From its inception, Strange Fellows has been about a blending of ideas and histories with a common vision: that two strangers can have a beer together, look each other in the eye and toast each other's good health.

"Under the warm, inclusive umbrella that is the enjoyment of a very fine pint, Strange Fellows seeks to unify its corner of the world, one beer at a time. Patrons from all walks, each with a distinct and valuable story just waiting to flow into the communal conversation, congregate in a space where difference is part of the fabric of the operation and is not just celebrated, but encouraged. The familiar and the strange coexist here, figuratively, as we have described, but literally too, in the line-up of available brews." - Chris Dagenais, East Van Foodie

While Strange Fellows is known for sour and barrel-aged beers, we also brew a broad range of styles, from hoppy and sessionable ales and stouts of all strengths, to traditional Belgians, crisp and classic pilsners, and seasonal fruit beers.

Our brewers' fondness for experimentation and diverse techniques and ingredients is evident in our barrel programme that produces unique limites releases sour, blended and vintage beers.

LAGER WEEK โ€“ LUDWIG // Thereโ€™s nothing quite l LAGER WEEK โ€“ LUDWIG // Thereโ€™s nothing quite like a royal wedding or the Chicken Dance to unite folks in silly revelry, and likely why Oktoberfest (which began over 200 years ago as the Bavarian Crown Prince Ludwigโ€™s marriage celebration) is so beloved. Arguably the crowning moment of any Oktoberfest is when the oom-pah band plays the opening chords of the Chicken Dance and young and old flock to the dance floor for some feather-brained fun. Perhaps a glass of this golden Ludwig Festbier โ€“ with its smooth maltiness and floral hop aroma โ€“ will put you in the mood to shake your tail feathers! โ 
โ 
Festbier is a relatively modern German style which is now the main beer brewed for the Bavarian Oktoberfest celebrations in place of the darker and heavier Marzen style. In keeping with custom and quality and concluding our LAGER Week, we've brewed this Ludwig Festbier with German imported floor malted grains and continental Hallertau Tradition hops. The result is an exceptionally clean and smooth beer with an elegant malt character and floral hop finish. โ 
โ 
It's not October! But it's a great time for Festbiers. And we have amazing news for all Lager lovers! โ 
โ 
More to come TOMORROW. โ

LAGER WEEK โ€“ SCARAB // There once live a beetle LAGER WEEK โ€“ SCARAB // There once live a beetle in Egypt, โ 
โ 
Though small, by the people was worshipped. โ 
โ 
Rolled the sun out each day, โ 
โ 
Carried on in this way, โ 
โ 
Just so long as he never got flipped! โ 
โ 
Beloved by the ancient Egyptians, the Scarab beetle was considered an earthly symbol of rebirth, his daily toils mirroring the sunโ€™s eternal cycle. Unlike the scarabโ€™s desert-dwelling, this super-dry beer with its clean thirst-quenching character is ultra-refreshing & reviving. โ 
โ 
Continuing our LAGER Week and taking inspiration from Japanese Super Dry Lagers, Scarab was brewed with rice and a select lager yeast strain yielding a very crisp, light, and bright-tasting beer. Delicate malt flavours are balanced with high carbonation and a subtle bitterness making way for a thirst-quenching finish. โ 
โ 
This is a staff favourite and it is making a comeback in a very stylish way! Stay Tuned!!! โ

LAGER WEEK โ€“ FERDINAND // One day while lying in LAGER WEEK โ€“ FERDINAND // One day while lying in the sun, Ferdinand โ€“ the peaceful, flower-loving bull โ€“ was stung by a bee and so began snorting and charging about in pain. Mistaken for a raging beast, he was taken away to fight in the bullring. The ensuing spectacle was a disappointment to all but a lesson all the sameโ€ฆitโ€™s best NOT to make assumptions based on appearances! Or on beer styles for that matterโ€ฆ something to mull over as you enjoy the complex, malty yet crisp, Ferdinand Vienna Style Lager! โ 
โ 
Carrying on with our LAGER Week, Ferdinand is a classic Vienna-style lager brewed with continental European malt and hop varieties. The Vienna and Munich malts bring a complex and delicate toasty malt flavour and aroma and the Tettnanger hops lend an almost spicy aroma. This is a very traditional regional style lager that is balanced, crisp and complex. โ

LAGER WEEK โ€“ BELDAME // Crossing paths with a cr LAGER WEEK โ€“ BELDAME // Crossing paths with a crone is believed unlucky by some. Stooped and toothless, sheโ€™s a frightful specter of mortality. Those who can meet her gaze and see wisdom there have nothing to fear, but beware to those who scorn or overlook her. As Mother of Creation, she can wield her power in wicked ways, by nightmare, illness or a failed harvest. So next time you happen upon an old woman, pour her a glass of this bright and refreshing beer, look her in the eye, and toast to her good health. โ 
โ 
Kicking off our LAGER Week, we feature Beldame, a classic German-style Pilsner. Bright clean and fresh with a bracing and refreshing bitterness and the unmistakable herbal earthy character of the Noble Hallertau hop. โ 
โ 
Stay tuned for a release that will certainly change your perception of Summer Lagers! Keep an eye out this week... โ
