Established as an East Van craft brewery, Strange Fellows has evolved to offer something for everyone: a diversity of beer, old-world cider, small-batch BC wine, and extraordinary non-alcoholic beer – all made with the same dedication to craft, quality and tradition, and the wish to bring folks together to celebrate both the strange* and the everyday.
