3.6 on Untappd.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.Inaugural Batch: Wednesday, December 17, 2014 -

So if you have a dragon to slay, make the act more enjoyable with this bold & flavourful beer.Inaugural Batch: Friday, June 26, 2015 -
3.6 on Untappd.Amid bursts of confetti & music, the Juggler entertains us with a handful of oranges.

3.8 on Untappd.With his insatiable appetite, the Wolf is guilty of devouring livestock & little old ladies, & is even thought to be able to swallow the sun. People of the old country observe strange rituals to appease his hunger, & never leave the house after dark for fear of being eaten.

3.6 on Untappd.On the day the birds were created, the Peacock was bestowed with splendid plumage. Dissatisfied, he bagged for the sweet song of the Nightingale.

Sip of this juicy & hoppy sour ale, reflect upon your gifts & be happy.Inaugural Batch: Tuesday, March 21, 2017 -
3.7 on Untappd.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.Inaugural Batch: Saturday, October 10, 2015 -
3.6 on Untappd.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.Inaugural Batch: Friday, August 24, 2018 -
3.9 on Untappd.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.Inaugural Batch: Tuesday, June 2, 2015 -
3.8 on Untappd.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.Inaugural Batch: Friday, November 27, 2015 -

3.9 on Untappd.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.

3.5 on Untappd.Our gold medal-winning traditional German-style Hefeweizen is essential sipping for long summer days. This beer is named El Jefe/The Boss after Iain who was one of the first to make a traditional Hefeweizen way back in 1995, long before anyone in Vancouver really knew what a Hefe-what was.

5 months agoWe've been fans of Strange Fellows ever since we tried Poppin Jay in 2020. We would frequent the brewery, which offers both inside and outside seating. Recently the menu has been overhauled and if I had a say in it, I would at least put this place on the Michelin guide. The new menu is phenomenal, with very niche Asian inspired items, every choice is a culinary treat. The service remains friendly and welcoming. I love the etiquette guidelines posted in the brewery. The ambiance remains chill, yet warm and welcoming. Congratulations to the management team for truly elevating the experience. Well done.

a month agoA great Vancouver brewery. No matter what season you visit, they have a great selection of beer and food to enjoy. Merchandise of course rotates, but don't be afraid to ask for something. If you visit, be sure to try a flight of their beers!

2 months agoI came for the Halloween season, and the haunted house, and I was surprised by how good it was! I love the atmosphere and how well the haunted house was made. Amazing!

a month agoHands down the best brewery in Vancouver! Consistently has the best balance between mainstays and rotating taps, things you can explore and end new offerings to explore. Great vibe, decor and music always on point. They did a beer club called the "Fellowship" years ago that was amazing and included member perks and discounts. They really need to bring the fellowship back again in some capacity. Keep up the great work and always looking out for any new beers!

a year agoNot quite ready for dinner, it was time for a beer. Yelp brought me here and it was a nice stop. I found parking on the street in front as I didn't feel comfortable leaving the van on the side street out of sight. Inside, a calm vibe and I found a seat with a power outlet to charge up the phone and sit for a bit to write a Yelp review or two while sipping a couple of beers. A delicious beer this evening, the Beldame is a perfect German-style Pilsner. Crisp, clean, refreshing. A great beer after a full day of enjoying Vancouver from end to end and more to come.
