    Two of their greats!

    Strange Fellows sponsored a silent auction item at the Mt Seymour Lions Club charity event and I won the final bid- how lucky I was! My fellow North Shorers - take a trip over to Clark and try out there beer, cider and wines. The basket had a Pilsner - very drinkable, clean taste- a cider - dry and lightly flavoured - and red wines - in a can? I gave it a try and was pleasantly surprised. Thanks for the beer coupons- I'll be over as soon as I have a day to myself. Thanks again for supporting the Mt Seymour Lions Club of the North Shore

    Whether you're driving or walking around the area, it's definitely hard to miss Strange Fellows, thanks to their large rotating sign right out front. I really like Strange Fellows, I really do. There are plenty of breweries in this area, but I always find myself paying a visit to or recommending SF. They have plenty of space - large long communal tables and high top tables mostly. Makes it great to stand around and socialize. I've tried many of their beers now and have liked most of them, my favourites being their IPA and Farmhouse Saison. I'm usually a big I{A fan, but SF has some delicious sour beers. They are always changing up their tap list as well creating new seasonals and collaborating with other breweries in the city. They also have really cool events that they host like bingo, art shows, and more. They have light snacks - pepperoni sticks, cheesy bread and pretzels. Perfect snacks to pair with a good beer. TL;DR: If you like sour beers and are looking for a fun afternoon/evening out, Strange Fellows is your spot.

    I'm really liking the craft beer scene in Vancouver. Another hit with this place. Parking is available both in the spots in front of the building (looks like an old warehouse), as well as on Clark. The place definitely has a hipster feel, and it feels good. Nice high ceilings, and plenty of wood furniture. On one end is the merchandise section, and on the other end (where the loading bay once was) is a feel-good art gallery. One can scratch one's head and think deep thoughts while wandering through this room. Excellent atmosphere here - probably one of the best I've seen out of all the craft brew pubs. Special mention. The bartender was quite helpful. I agree with Mark H. in that the menu is a bit tricky to read, especially with the occasionally backwards lettering. ESL people and dyslexics beware. One special mention is that their flights (called "boxes of strange" here) are larger than the competition (which generally use 4oz glasses). I think the glasses are 6oz instead of 4oz. As a result, my friend and I ended up with much more beer than we expected. However, this kind of problem is easily solved, with the help of one's liver. Once this is factored in, the pricing is actually in line with nearby P49, my craft beer benchmark. As of the time of writing, they only sell 7 types of beer here, so 2 boxes of strange can clear out the menu. Beautiful. On the back of the label cards (where they write down which beers you're having), are some etiquette tips, or words of wisdom. More fodder for thinking deep thoughts. On the merchandise end, they sell growlers, shirts, and other goodies. I didn't have a chance to take a good look, but it looks very well stocked. They also sell some baked pastries and other snacks as well, for those who get the munchies. I will definitely be back. Recommended.

    Lots of breweries in this area, but Strange Fellows stands out with its tasteful variety of brews. New collaborations/ limited runs on a regular basis. Large and spacious seating area. Run of the mill hipster brew pub design. You get a big glass wall to view some of the factory floor and vats. I recommend the Saison and IPA varieties for beer. Dark IPA is interesting... but I'm not a big fan. Service is prompt and courteous.

    After Kishimoto my dining buddy and I went for a walk and detoured here aftetr -- no lie -- seeing one of the Strange Fellows Brewery cars. My friend was thinking of a beer, and voila! the car appears and we figured it might be going to a brewery nearby. I'm not a drinker, so take that into account when I review the strange eats here. They offer a Caramelized Cheese Bread that's really more cheese than bread. The veggie one has token veggie (one shrivelled stick of asparagus you can't even taste). My friend and her beer agree the saltiness helps with the beer. For me, this was two parts -- cheese cracker and token bread. Cheese part was salty salty salty. Bread was a sort of croissant? Puff pasty? Anyway, really light and flaky. Don't try to tear chunks off. Trim the cheese around it then pick it up and eat it. Sweet chili sauce here made it edible. For $5.25 this is more of a pricey novelty and to have some cheese crackers. Don't buy a couple hoping it'll add up to a burger. Nice space, friendly staff, eye-straining menu behind the counter on the wall. Small art gallery inside at the back!

    Built-in sobriety test menu

    Strange-ly appealing addition to the craft beer revolution in Vancouver. Fresh from Hawaii, I was craving some solid local brews. Browsing on Untapped, I noticed this new brewery that just officially opened today. Located in what likely was an auto body shop on Clark Drive, the interior design is minimalistic and slick. The beer menu consists of printing press block letters. Although it doubles as a sobriety test, it is quite hard to read. We had flights on all their beers available and walked away with growler fills of the Lager and Pale Ale. Every one of the staff was super friendly and welcoming. Their growlers and mini growlers are unique as they are shorter and fatter. Definitely adding to the growler collection. Welcome Fellows!

    Sours for days

    We stumbled upon this place while driving down Clark on our way back into downtown. I didn't even know what it was but the industrial looking front and unorthodox slanted signage caught my eye so I immediately busted a u-turn and had to check out what this place was (my thoughts were either a cocktail lounge or brewery). Parked and realized it was a brewery. Woot! After walking in, I noticed they had a decent selection of sours (which I'm a sucker for). We went ahead and ordered a flight. The staff were super friendly and even gave recommendations on what to hit up in terms of local distilleries. It was over 2 years since I've last visited Van and I can't recall so many craft brew spots being around. Cheers to some tasty BC brews! The place is quite spacious and plenty of seating for groups! Despite being in an industrial area, the inside was well thought out that you wouldn't even think you're hanging around a place off a busy street. Kudos to the awesome feng shui in here! I'll definitely be back for some tasty brews when I'm up in Van again!

    What better way to spend part of the last day of 2014 than tasting some delicious new beers at the newest addition to Vancouver's explosively incredible craft beer scene? The decor is chic, clean, minimal, and modern. There's an art space in the back with some great work, and it really adds a warmth to the industrial quality of the room. I love that you can see folks working in the brewery through the giant glass wall all down one side of the room - such a neat thing to see! We stopped by late afternoon on New Year's Eve and although the location is on Clark and therefore harder to get to walking (make sure you find a crosswalk, this is not a road to dash across!) it was BUSY! Luckily some people had left just before we arrived and we managed to snag a table, but there were lots of people milling around, and when we left a woman was definitely waiting to swoop in and grab our spot - it's so awesome to see how passionate folks are about craft beer in Vancouver! It warms my heart! We chatted to one of the people behind the bar for a couple of minutes to get some recommendations and ended up ordering two flights so we could taste everything. We both loved the Lager and the West Coast Pale Ale so filled our growlers with those! The prices for tasters and growler fills were very reasonable, and their growler labelling station is awesome! We had a lot of fun with the stamps, and even mixed and matched a bit! We're both really looking forward to seeing what else they come up with, and I know I'll be back very soon!

    This was our first visit to Strange Fellows and it definitely will become a regular stop on our Vancouver brew stops! The space is post-industrial with high ceilings and a factory vibe. Along one wall are shelves of growlers collected from various other breweries (I noticed several Bellingham faves up there but didn't see Wander so since we happened to have one of their growlers in the car we swapped it with Strange Fellows for one of their growlers to keep). Beer-wise I enjoyed their porter and their dark IPA, and the hubby enjoyed their unfiltered IPA. They also have snacks to buy, including those ridiculously addictive melted cheese bacon croissant things which are ubiquitous at area breweries and rightly so! Parking is not great and the street is pretty busy - but these are small prices to pay for a new spot to enjoy great beer in YVR!

    I was hesitant about coming here because it had so many mixed reviews,especially about how rude the staff can be to the customers. Walked in and was greeted right away by a very friendly female server. There were eight beers on tap and so my fiancé and I decided to get two flights of four beers each in prefer to try all of them. We walked over to a high top and. Priced we were two out of four people in the whole place. This is most likely because we came in on a weekday. The place was dimly lit with a modern industrial feel to it. And towards the back there is a small art gallery. The flights were given to us with pieces of card stock where the server wrote the names of the beers for us. In the other side of it were "etiquette of a strange fellow" with three different rules on them. My favorites were Hop Devil and Talisman. The only one I would not order again was the last one we tried which was a sour beer. I had never tried a sour beer before. It was my first and last time. Overall, great vibe and great beer.

    This is probably one of the best interiors of all the breweries I've been to. They are also dog friendly! (For now). This place also has probably THE BEST service- the door/bartender guy was so friendly and cute to boot! Lighter beers here are meh. Unfortunate that they don't do Stouts or Porters during the summer months right now- I'll be back for the Winter season when they have some of the fullest, malty stouts I've ever had.

    Came here because the review said they had sour beers, multiple. Was let down. The one I tasted was very mild and not really sour. The Starnge Nuts are well worth the price if they will complement your particular beer choice. Salty, spices and slightly sweet.

I started with a flight of their popular beers: ​Salted Lime Lager, Paloma Grapefruit Lager, Cerveza Light Lager, Orange Fresca Pilsner. The beers have won a few awards so I was not disappointed. My least favourite was the cerveza. It had a strong rice flavour and compared to the rest, not memorable. The grapefruit was stunning! Probably my favourite. Next was the salted Lime. You really can't go wrong with that! All so unique and excited to grab these at BCLS now! I also got the Fondue Nachos (Tortilla chips with monterrey cheese, pico de gallo, home-made garlic mayo, pickled jalapeños, pico de gallo and refried beans). This was a pile of happiness. So many competing flavours and nice touches. The garlic mayo with the handmade salty chips was great. The refried beans combined with the guac was so fresh and warm! Really nice place for good eats, fast service, and delicious beers!

The service is outstanding; every person is so happy and actually give a heck about you having a great experience. The vibes are so high, upbeat Latin fusion beats.
