Suggested Beers to try at Strange Fellows Brewing.
Pale Ale - American
The Siren of the Seas is a fickle creature: benevolent or spiteful, she can bestow a safe passage & a bountiful catch, or provoke storms & shipwrecks. Sailors have long cast gifts of flowers, food or trinkets into the sea in exchange for good fortune. Talisman – our delicately dry-hopped & golden-hued ale with its tropical & citrusy aroma – may be just the thing to encourage the Siren’s blessing.
IPA - White / Wheat
The Dragon embodies those things we fear, wound up in a mass of greed & destruction, while the valiant knight is our protector, fated to save us from ruin. Our Guardian IPA – with the spicy character of a Wit & the hops of an IPA – is inspired by this legendary battle between good & evil. So if you have a dragon to slay, make the act more enjoyable with this bold & flavourful beer.
Wheat Beer - Witbier / Blanche
Amid bursts of confetti & music, the Juggler entertains us with a handful of oranges. As the oranges rise & fall, the planets revolve in the universe, babies are born, & the old pass on. Jongleur – our silky bodied, spicy & aromatic Wit – infuses any moment with a spark of joy. A glass of this bright & refreshing beer reminds us of the juggler’s simple lesson: to take pleasure in both the big & the small things in life.
Sour - Other
On the day the birds were created, the Peacock was bestowed with splendid plumage. Dissatisfied, he bagged for the sweet song of the Nightingale. Surely a beauty such as his deserved a voice to match? As penance for his vanity however, the Peacock was given a voice that would forever lament his lack of perfection.
Sip of this juicy & hoppy sour ale, reflect upon your gifts & be happy.
Stout - Other
Dispatched each day at dawn, Odin’s two ravens fly the world over, bringing news from the land of men back to the Norse god by nightfall. What secrets do they gather as they spy from on high, or scavenge from the leavings of men?
Next time the black birds call outside your door, perhaps a glass of Blackmail milk stout – with its rich, round & slightly sweet character – will still their extortive tongues.
Pilsner - German
This is a classic German style Pilsner. Bright, clean, and fresh with a bracing and refreshing bitterness and the unmistakable herbal earthy character of the Noble Saaz hop.
Crossing paths with a crone is believed unlucky by some. Stooped and toothless, she’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.
Sour - Other
While a sour or tart beer might not be what you expect, it is something that can be a nice break from that which is expected. Our Roxanne Raspberry Sour Grisette starts with a quaffable table saison, which is then soured in the kettle, and then hammered with a few hundred pounds of black raspberries.
Belgian Dubbel
He was covered in fur from his head to his foot, the colour of midnight, the colour of soot. A bundle was squirming, slung over his back, & he looked like a thief, sneaking off with his sack. His eyes were like embers, glowing fierce in the night – I froze in the shadows to hide from his sight! A bundle of branches help tight in his fist, reminded me that this was no happy tryst. He had cloven hooved & a serpentine tail, my shameful behavior he was here to wassail. He was wickedly bad, an evil old devil, I cringed when I saw him, his whole being so dreadful. The glint in his eye & the nod of his head soon gave me to know I had plenty to dread.
Sour - Other Gose
This is our twist on a Gose, a traditional German sour and salty wheat beer style. It was brewed with a variety of botanicals often found in Gin, including Coriander, Juniper Berries, Black Limes and Grains of Paradise, giving it a distinct fruity, spicy and herbal character.
A dry and slightly salty finish make this beer extremely refreshing and a perfect way to keep cool on a summer afternoon.
IPA - American
Sweet sweet Mister Hip you've got to me, come drink throughout the day with me. Take one fresh & hoppy sip from a golden glass of this, where citrus, grapefruit, pine a-flourish. Memories are made of this... (Sung to the tune of Dean Martin's "Memories Are Made Of This")
Farmhouse Ale - Saison
Seeing your Doppelgänger is considered to be bad luck, even a harbinger of impending death. Of course they could be your long-lost twin, or merely one who bears a strange resemblance to you. More likely however, they are your evil twin from a parallel universe & intend to hijack your life. Beware – If they don’t cast a shadow or appear reflected in a mirror, then you know you’re in trouble. This beer with its fruity, bright character will reveal treacherous intentions.
IPA - American
For centuries the Celts and other ancient people burned effigies made of wicker as sacrifice to the gods. These Wickermen represented a link between the spirt world and the world of men; fire drew the two together. Our Wicker man IPA might bring you one step closer to the world of sprits but it doesn’t really matter. Brewed with 4 killer Yakima hop varieties: Columbus, Ekuanot, Amarillo, and Simco it’s earthy, spicy, and fruity all at once. The bitter pithy finish is backed up by a soft sweet malt character
Sour - Other
Passion fruit sour ale
Farmhouse Ale - Saison
Made in collaboration with our friends at Brassneck Brewery this French style Saison was brewed with a healthy dose of Passionfruit and has a dry, tropical and exotic character. Carbonation is high and the Huell Melon hop variety adds to the intense fruity character.
Farmhouse Ale - Saison
In Chinese folklore the Moon Rabbit uses his mortar to grind spices for the elixir of life. We’ve ground a few of our own spices here and feel pretty good about our elixir and although it will unlikely extend your life, it tastes lovely. Brewed with green and red Sichuan pepper this is a spicy dry and aromatic saison.
Festbier
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
Lager - Vienna
Ferdinand is a classic Vienna style lager brewed with continental European malt (Vienna, Pilsner, Munich) 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 reginal style lager that is balanced, crisp and complex.
Lager - Japanese Rice
There once live a beetle in Egypt,
Though small, by the people was worshipped.
Rolled the sun out each day,
Carried on in this way,
Just so long as he never got flipped!
Beloved by the ancient Egyptians, the Scarab beetle was considered an earthly symbol of rebirth, his daily toils mirroring the sun’s eternal cycle. Unlike the scarab’s desert dwelling, this super-dry beer with its clean thirst-quenching character is ultra-refreshing & reviving
Porter - Other
Velvet was conditioned in Woodford Reserve bourbon barrels for one month to impart a subtle bourbon character. The vanilla notes from the oak complement rich chocolate and toffee flavours, giving way to a rich and smooth finish.
IPA - Triple
Beest is a West Coast style triple IPA. It's big, bold and packs a punch. It has been heavily dry hopped using Simcoe, Amarillo and Centennial. This combination of hops creates a dank, resinous and fruity aroma. Beest is brewed with a huge amount of grain bringing it to a whopping 10% alcohol. Up front flavours of ripe stone fruit and a bitter finish are rounded out with a sweetness to balance its high alcohol and big hop character. Don’t let the drinkability fool you, this Beest is dangerous.
HOPS: Simcoe,Chinook, Centennial, Amarillo
MALT: Pilsner malt
YEAST: US-05
IBU: 90
OG: 1.095
Farmhouse Ale - Grisette
Based on our recurring Canary Sour Grisette, Pink Canary was made with plenty of northwest strawberries and a smidgen of black pepper. This is a refreshing and balanced sour beer with a hint of fragrant sweetness and a soft sour character.
Sour - Other
Brewed with a load of mangos and tellicherry pepper, the sweet fruit is balanced by the sour nature of this beer and the heat of the pepper compliments the ripe fruit flavour. Perfect for the hottest days of summer.
IPA - Cold
It begins with a tentative peep, followed by a bolder croak. Slowly, inspired by their intrepid leader the others join in, waking from their icy stupor. And so begins the spring chorus, a sure tell sign that old man winter is making way for the ever so lovely spring. Just as the frogs rise from the dead, we too emerge from the chill to delight in the sun. Should you need any motivation, a sip of this bright, hop forward beer that’s brewed like a lager but hopped like an IPA, is sure to put a spring in your step.
IPA - Brut
This classic Brut IPA was barrel aged with a Brett D and Sac Trois yielding flavours reminiscent of pear and white grape. There is an almost creamy coconut like body along with a firm dry bitterness and a finish that brings to mind the oak barrels this IPA was aged in. Illusturm brings together all those things we love so much at Strange Fellows: unique "wild" yeast cultures, a solid Citra dry hop, and barrel aging. What could be more perfect for our 5th anniversary release?
Non-Alcoholic - Pale Ale
This full-bodied, aromatic, and flavorful Pale Ale is never-the-less non-alcoholic. Dryhopped with some of the sexiest North West varieties, including Citra and Mosaic, you can expect to be greeted with aromas of tropical fruits and citrus. This is a very drinkable and satisfying craft example in a category traditionally dominated by offerings from macro producers using high-tech means to process their light-bodied beer.
HOPS: Centennial / Citra / Mosiac
MALT: German Malted Barley / Lactose

IBU: 15
