Strange Craft Beer Company

A great spot and an excellent service. I loved the beer and the atmosphere was very friendly!
I’m definitely impressed. The flavors of their beer are well balanced and executed not overly strong & having had their beer mostly from the bottle, it was great to have it ice cold. All of their beers are on draft are worthwhile. Service was good –quick to come by and explained everything. It can take a longer in a busy night but that’s to be expected; just enjoy the time together with your friends.
Strange Craft Beer is a place I’d recommend to any people who enjoy craft beer.

quite a wide selection of beers — we enjoyed most of them and the cherry bomb stout was most excellent!

Tried their pale ales and IPAs, loved them all but the grapefruit IPA — Just not for me. The place had a really cool ambiance! If I lived in Denver I’d definitely become a regular.

Outstanding beer, service and the next door that food, and did i say the beer is really good!

The Cherry Kriek and the Grapefruit IPA were our favorites. We rode our bikes in and passed the smoke stacks– it’s at the end of the little shopping mall in the intersection. It’s super small and probably crowded on the weekends. Weird hours– they closed at 8. Food truck was good though and it was a nice little place to stop after work.

One of the more accessible and consistent breweries in Denver. The location is convenient but odd, just west of 25 north of the stadium
The beer profile beer cover a lot of ground, something for Big Beer drinkers, IPA enthusiasts and accessible fruit infusion beers.
Pet friendly with a large outdoor running lane for pups and music during the warmer months. They also have a Pinball machine if that’s your thing and trivia nights on Tuesdays.
The Cherry Variations are some of the more popular here, including the barley wine Dr. Strangelove.
One of the Best Breweries in Denver

i wanted to love you strange craft, i really did. i’m a huge craft beer nut. i also love things that are just weird in general. i mean, who in the world makes a sweet potato green chile beer?!? You Guys, that’s who! and it was actually pretty tasty.
however, herein lies my problem: there were so many options i wanted to try, the bartender suggested i get some sample pours. so i ended up getting four 4/​5oz tasters, $ 3 a pop. while waiting a table opens up and we sit down. i get my beers and start perusing the menu. turns out 3 of the 4 beers i ordered also cost $ 3 for a 10oz pour. i asked the waitress why i paid $ 3 for a taster when for the same price i could get double the beer? answer i got = yeah you pretty much screwed yourself on that one.
while the beer was tasty, this experience left a bad taste in my mouth. i’ll always love beer so when yall got some good bottles around the city, i have no doubt i’ll purchase. the limited popcorn seating coupled with mediocre service was enough to make me question coming back already. this transaction pushed me off the fence. it’ll be awhile at least til i attempt giving the taproom a 2^nd chance

Strange is always a good brewery to go by. They like to mix it up with some fruit beers that usually are fantastic. they Cherry Kriek is a knock out of the park and is pretty much always on tap. The did a Pumpkin Porter as well this year which is pretty tasty. There is usually a food truck out front.
The one warning I would give is to not go there on a game day. Last time we did it was completely packed and loud.

Off the beaten path, but well worth it. Industrial setting adds to its charm. Corn hole, ladder golf and horseshoes in back. Proprietors are «Midwest nice.» Place has a mellow vibe and the best part? The beer is really really good!

Great beer! Lots of hoppy brews. Flights with 10 beers for $ 18. Good place to pre game before a Broncos game.

Strange Craft is blessed with an awesome brewer!
I absolutely love their grapefruit IPA, and have often sought out bombers of it at Total Beverage.
I’ve also tried the Cherry Kriek, which is a little sour for my taste, but is still good, especially mixed with a dark beer. Their pumpkin porter impressed me because it was so balanced. Too much of the time, there’s too much spice. Not with this one. They also have a sweet potato chili beer, which was fantastic. I think it’s a specialty, so hurry if you want to try it! The only beer that just wasn’t to my taste was the gingerbread brown, but that didn’t surprise me because a lot of the time I don’t like browns. They had a heather ale on tap, which was also very drinkable.
Service is friendly.
The only thing I don’t like is the location and atmosphere. They’re located just I-​25 and the 8^th Avenue exit. It’s kind of a bummer of a neighborhood. However, their beer is so good that it more than makes up for that!

Awesome place for some craft beer. Strange is difficult to find at first; it’s right off a highway and when you get off, you are initially sure that you are in the wrong place. However, I used Google Maps, warily followed its directions, and end up in the right spot!
I had the flight of beer and split it with a group. It comes with 10 (!!!) different beers and you can try, so it’s a good deal (if I remember, it was about $ 15-​$ 20 each). Single servings of beer are also quite cheap if you know what you want. You can also order food from Strange or the food truck right outside of it. I was about to order food from Strange, but was told that the food truck had much better food, so I opted for that instead. Did not disappoint — had some awesome fried Brussels sprouts and after I saw potatoes behind cut for fresh fries, I ordered those to and had a huge box of hot, delicious, fresh fries.
Overall, really good experience. Not to loud inside, just right for conversation with friends. They seem to have limited hours, especially for a brewery — maybe it has to do with location? Either way, I would recommend you check this place out!

This place is tied with epic brewing for my favorite craft brewery in Denver. When they teamed up for a collaborative brew with a combination of the «big bad baptist» from epic and the «cherry kriek» from strange, they created the «strangely epic» (or the «epically strange») and it is hands down my favorite beer I’ve ever tasted.

Strange Craft is amazing. While I was there I had several beers, none of which disappointed. Price is reasonable for the quality. My favorite was the Cherry kreik. Staff was super friendly and offered wisdom on which beer I might enjoy best. Love the backyard feel outside, the only bad part was there was not enough shade back there! All in all a great experience that I look forward to having again!

Some of the best beer we had in CO, which is saying a lot because we had a lot of beer. Everything I tried was excellent. Very friendly staff, too (but, really, if you work in a brewery you are probably always happy). My son asked about the barley, so the bartender took him to the next room to sample some of their varieties. He was so accommodating and patient with my little foodie/​chemist. The outside seating behind the building was nice, too!

Recommend this to EVERYONE if you actually want a place with real Denver beer come to strange!
Amazingg staff, amazing beer, great place to just hang out!

Small brewery /​taproom that is a little hard to get to. Reminded me more of a friend’s basement or garage then a taproom. Pretty small on the inside but decent area out back with games and additional seating. Beers here are impressive. Love the Cherry Kriek, and was blown away by the Barrel Aged Bomb Dr L’Orange. Worth going if you love the beers.

Had a great time at Strage! We went one afternoon and sampled several of the beers. I enjoyed just about everything — accept the IPAs since I don’t like IPAs anyway, so not a huge surprise. The service was friendly and casual, so kinda like being at a friends house, accept they actually wait on you.
They are kinda hard to find the first time out. Just look for the food truck parked outside and the heavy concentration of cars.
They have a great Belgian Triple if you get the chance to try it! It was my personal fav of the day.

Great little brewery– I like the fact that the flytes are labeled so you are not guessing or trying to remember what all you are drinking. It is kind of small but they have a larger outside seating area in back. It’s cool that you get to walk through where they brew to get out back. They have corn hole and horseshoes as well.

Off the beaten path — you are probably not going to pass by on your way somewhere and pop in. I guess that’s why it was all the more fun to go here.
We each has a beer. A light watermelon and a oaty stout… yin and yang? Played some pinball and remarked at the food truck pulling up. Wood fired pizza. All good!

Pretty disappointed as a whole by this place.
Came here with a large group of 8 folks, looking forward to hanging out for a bit, having some beers, and finding a good time. Well, I was able to hang out, have some beers, and neglected to find that good time.
The beers are just… weird. Even my IPA-​loving friends were a little put-​out by them. I tried 4 or 5 different beers, all of which were just not that good. Cherry Kriek was just straight up nasty. I swear the pale ales were the same dang beer, which was just okay. Grapefruit IPA was alright. I just got the feeling that they were trying too hard to make something unique and different, and just missed the mark continuously.
The beers I can look past, as hey, each their own! But the staff was beyond ridiculous. When we got there, it was us 8, and 4 other people TOTAL in the entire place. Yet it took 15 minutes to get everyone a beer. Everyone was just slow slow slow. It only got worse as the place started filling up.
We went outside for a bit to enjoy the nice weather and play some horseshoes. Came back in a half hour later to a crowd of ~30 people. The brewery was not even close to being able to handle it. There were two bartenders, neither of which seemed too concerned with doing much more than talking to a single person, randomly pouring a beer, and then ignoring the other 95% of the customers. I waited with a half dozen other people in a line, and the staff never once acknowledged us. My friend even tried catching their attention a couple times, they locked eyes with him, didn’t say a word, and continued about their day doing God knows what. Seriously, both of them just stood there and didn’t do anything for minutes at a stretch. I don’t know if they were just overwhelmed, incompetent, disinterested, or a combo of all 3, but they were awful.
So couple a completely uncaring and bad staff with mediocre beers, and you have me never coming back.

Love this place. We have been coming here since we moved to the Denver area several years ago. The Cherry Kriek is my all time favorite beer. It starts sweet but has a nice tart finish. I also like the farmhouse ale for a more everyday sort of beer.
The community tables are great. It’s a nice mellow place to watch CU game and the garage door is great to open up in the summertime to enjoy the sunshine. They have a stack of games to play while you enjoy a pint, too.
The owners are wonderful people. They’re super friendly and I love to see them work the bar. Coming here is like dropping by to say hello to your neighbors.

Ready for an honest review? Never trust anywhere that has all positive reviews, this is for people that don’t live downtown for which location is paramount.
Doing the beer/​brewery crawl looking for that cool place that has great beer and great atmosphere? Well, skip this one. Their beer is good, borderline great, but their customer service is straight up horrible. It’s like they don’t get Bar Rescue and they don’t know that it starts and ends with customer service.
Like a lot of business where the owner is only partially present (this is an ASSUMPTION on my part, maybe he/​she just doesn’t care), this is a place where the identity of the product has been completely overshadowed by the douchebaggery of the staff. You’re young, you’re into you. That’s ok, but you are attempting to work in a service industry so you are going to be another casualty if you can’t get over yourself. This is not the age of decades of experience to know right and wrong, just be nice and caring and you’re half way there.
Upon entering we took a table and had a 10 beer flight which we were enjoying until a person (I don’t know who since I was so beneath him I didn’t warrant a greeting or even eye contact), thrust a RESERVED FOR 5:30 sign down on my table, reaching over me and my placement without regard, and then scurried off before I could say anything. This was at 4:45.
I took this as a sign to leave or switch tables, which made no sense since the only other two tops were unoccupied at the time??? weird, we don’t like you…
Thinking this an odd request, my wife thought there was probably some eccentric that liked to set at our particular, while albeit not extraordinary, table in the corner. She thought we should at least see who this local celebrity was.
At 5:30 we were told to vacate the table while they stared solemnly at the floor, not daring to make any eye contact with those who they claim to serve. So we left and had nowhere to go, they offered no table, nothing. We stood around, my wife almost followed Thing #1 into the back room because he kept mumbling under his breath and not being clear about where we should go or what we should do, carrying a full flight around like idiots, mind you.
Please note: our server, the only woman working at the time was great. Informative and helpful, in as so much as she did nothing to alleviate the situation that was so painfully obvious to everyone sitting at the 14×6 bar top. She deserves no blame, but who does? The two ‘men’ who ushered us away from our table like we had done something wrong; then attempted to apologize to my wife after I left and the management finally reared it’s head?
ARE YOU NOT AWARE OF THE COMPETITION AROUND YOU? Please google your zip code and the word ‘brewery’ or ‘brew pub’. See? You’re welcome.
If you don’t want certain people’s business, you should just be up front about it. Maybe you didn’t like our ethnicity or our general demeanor, but we liked you beer and wanted to have a good experience but STRANGE, I guess we’re not ‘hipster’ enough for you.
You know that awful music that these places force down your throat because they don’t trust your ability to make meaningful conversation? That was the reason they kicked us out, enjoy another Phish-​DaveMathews hack!
DISCLAIMER: Check how long since my last review, so you know they dropped the ball on this one…

A bit off the beaten tracks, but a joint that had been on our radar for a while. We drove by the first time as the frontage is not clearly marked as a business in the plaza it resides. We had three beers, the grapefruit breakfast IPA, another 7% IPA, and the cherry kreik, which is cherry cherry translated. Both IPA were very good, not the most epic ever, but very good. The the cherry cherry won an award at the great american beer fest. It was good, but it does not quite compare to the legend of my memories of the Belgian beer Bellvue kreik. It might not have been a good sequence of flavors drinking that right after IPA’s.
Next time I want to get the taster 10, which is around 15 $ and features all the wares to be had. They are in the new Colorado beer drinkers guide with a free pint coupon. Super great present for any beer fanatic. We bought ourselves one as an present.

Do you think it’s hard to make friends in Denver? I think it’s hard to make friends in Denver.
I consider myself a fairly outgoing person, but if you move here by yourself and have no coworkers your age, how do you go out and meet people? People here are nice, sure, but how do you actually MEET them? This is a question I’ve pondered many times. However, in a state filled with craft beer, MMJ, and skiing, I refuse to believe there are not a couple like minded people I might encounter in Denver. So, whenever I’ve got some free time and spare change, I take to Unilocal and see what I can explore nearby.
This is where Strange comes in. Found this place by chance on Unilocal,and when I googled the address I realized it was right off of 13^th. I myself live right off of 13^th, so I pointed my bike downhill, got my ass over the terribly uneven, seemingly endless railroad tracks, passed underneath I-​25, and I had arrived… And I’ve been coming back ever since!
The beer is amazing. It’s reasonably priced too, usually $ 5 for 16oz. Growler refills range from $ 10– $ 35 depending on the beer; the majority of them cost around $ 13. And they offer punch cards, so when you drink 9 beers you get a 10^th one free :). I love IPAs and Belgian style beers, so this place was a no brainer for me. My usual go-​to beers here are the Grapefruit IPA and the Farmhouse ale, but the more I try, the more I realize you really can’t go wrong. For a small brewery, they have a very decent sized tap list. They do a lot of collaborations with other breweries, so it’s always fun to try those out– the Dubbel Jeopardy and Strangely Epic are two awesome collabs they have at the moment. They also have «one barrel wednesdays» where they brew a small batch of beer that isn’t normally on the tap list. Oh, and check out the cherry kriek! It’s a little pricier than most of the other beers, but IMO, absolutely worth it. It doesn’t have a fake cherry flavor or a cloyingly sweet taste, rather, it’s like drinking a tart cherry pie.
The awesome beer is the major reason I find myself here again and again, but this place also has a great atmosphere. The employees are all super friendly and make you feel at home. And if you find yourself in there repeatedly, like me, they will quickly recognize you! It’s also a great place to talk to random people. For example… I’ve met a recent med school grad, a British welder, a guy who named all 9 of his dogs Dusty, a girl who just moved from PA, a marijuana farmer, and a cycling enthusiast– to name a few. All sorts of people come here and I think it’s so cool to listen to peoples stories while sitting around drinking fantastic beer. And they have a great space out back with games and plenty of seating, which is perfect for the summer.
I honestly cannot say enough great things about this place, come here and check it out for yourself!
