Strange Craft is a super chill brewery tucked away in a place that you would have never seen unless, like me, you have a friend that recommends it or if you look it up. I am glad my friend recommended it and I look forward to going back. I got a mango sour beer and it was delightful with nice and not overwhelming taste. They also have festive beers like the gingerbread beer. The thing that makes this place stand out though is the people. Tyler was an awesome bartender and a great person to make conversation with. I would go back just for him. read more

I have a weekly meetup with my church group. We choose a different brewery bimonthly to support small businesses throughout the city. We're not a rowdy bunch, less than a dozen of us, meet just shy of two hours for a thematic discussion in the early evening, but after happy hour. All that said, my first time at Strange was two weeks ago. I'd heard about this place for years from one of my friends, but never been. What a low-key, great place! The bartenders were chill. The prices were incredibly reasonable for craft, microbrew and a most excellent selection as you could want. The folks that seemed to be regulars were friendly... can see why my friend has been going there for so long, now! And, hello, shopping center parking in a quasi-industrial area that totally felt safe?! I'm definitely throwing this place back in the hat for another rotation here! read more

It's been around for 16 years. Kind of hidden but worth finding. The cherry beer is delicious and awarded! I tasted the Mexican lager too, it has many good flavors. The place is a bit small but has a cozy feel. The bartender is super friendly and all customers wanted to pet my dog. Outdoor seating. Occasional food truck. read more

Met up with a group of folks on a rainy Saturday afternoon. We were able to push some tables together to accommodate our group. The staff is great here. They offer good suggestions. I had Jack Stout, a 5% ABV, dry Irish stout. I love my dark beers and this was a delicious choice. Strange is worth a visit. read more

I was in the area dropping of a UHaul and was fascinated to see a brewery in what felt like the absolute middle of nowhere Denver -- had to check it out! We popped in and ordered the Table beer ($7) the Norwegian Farm beer ($7), and a pretzel ($6 -- comes with IPA honey mustard and ghost pepper ranch). The Norwegian farm beer was really tasty & unique, and the table beer wasn't bad but very nondescript with some Bud Light vibes. The pretzel was okay. I really liked the mustard but probably wouldn't order it again. I'll stop by next time I'm picking up a UHaul, but probably wouldn't come out of my way. read more

Stopped in at Strange Craft on New Years' Eve day to check it out and drink some good beer! My husband and I weren't let down. Although it's in somewhat of a random location, there are plenty of other attractions around it like Ironworks and MeowWolf, so it wasn't as random as I originally thought. The brewery wasn't too busy on New Years' Eve day, so we were able to quickly order at the counter. I got the Gingerbread ale, which I really enjoyed, and my husband got the Double IPA. We were both very happy with our beers and the atmosphere of the bar was very chill as well. I would come back here if I'm ever in the area in the future! read more

Good beers and a cool vibe! Stopped by this spot one night after work and invited my boyfriend to meet me. Super laid back vibe with a great variety of beer. We're lovers of all types of beer, so we can find something we like at any brewery. But this brewery had offerings ranging from ales to barrel aged, so even if you're a lucky beer drinker, you're sure to find something you like! Treat yo' self and get a flight so you can sample some of their tasty offerings! read more

Let's start with the positive. The bartender was nice and welcoming. Other than that, the beer selection wasn't to my liking. So I just got a pint of their lager with lime. The lime in the beer wasn't liming. The interior of the taproom looked dated and depressing. read more

Our first time in and we loved the beers. I had the cherry kriek and could have drank 100 more. Unfortunately we had to settle on 2 beers a piece but we will definitely be back. Limited seating indoors which is kind of a bummer because of COVID and now it's getting colder out, the inside maxes out pretty quick. But for those sunny Colorado winter days they have a beer garden out back and I believe it's dog friendly. read more

Seeking to check out a new brewery with our PubPasses, my girl Marissa C and I made our way to Strange Craft Beer Company post brunch this past Sunday. SPACE: While the taproom is on the smaller side, they make the most with what they have! There's a large community table as soon as you walk in, additional high-top tables line the walk, regular tables along the center of the space, and bar seating is of course available. Strange Craft Beer Company shares it's taproom with Wit's End Brewing Company as well, so there are select taps for their brews too! SERVICE: We didn't interact much with the beertenders during our visit. They informed us which brews we could select from for our PubPass deal. When we made our selections they gave us a little background on the Cherry Bomb's "accidental" creation. Fun! SIPS: After browsing the tap listing I chose to sip on the Cherry Kriek a Belgian blond with Montmorency pie cherries. It was very cherry flavored and that color is amazing. Def recommend giving it a try. My fellow brewery-goer opted for the Cherry Bomb, a wheat stout loaded with tart Montmorency cherries. While it was tasty and different, neither of us felt there was a strong cherry note. They seem to have a decent selection of brews including several fruity options. SUSTENANCE: While Strange Craft Beer Company, like most other breweries in the area, doesn't have it's own kitchen they do offer Baker Street Bavarian Pretzels and a variety of food trucks set up shop out front. During our visit there was a truck serving up some tasty looking tacos, nachos, and gorditas (at least I think I saw gorditas...)! Too bad I didn't get the name. Strange Craft Beer Company was def worth checking out! I'll be keeping an eye on their Facebook for various beer releases throughout the coming year to check out too!! Cheers!! read more

Outdoor beer garden was great size, a little rustic and backs up to a train track so can be a little noisy but it was only the RTD so they're quick. Staff was great, they turned on the fire proactively after we got our beers at the counter. Cherry Kriek, a lambic, their signature World Beer Cup Gold winner, was awesome - as described, cherry pie in a glass. Dog friendly even during covid. read more

Stopped in for a beer pre beer fest this past weekend and found myself asking how I have never been here? Cute little taproom, ample space in the patio and great beers. Had a orange cream ale that was quite tasty, a nice easy drinking start. Then decided to have one more because why not am I right and tried their IPA. Also very good. I really liked that they came out to check on you too if you were sitting on the patio to order you another beer! Excellent service and so convenient!! Will definitely be back to try mother of their brews! read more

Good beers, great service, positive atmosphere. Would recommend to any beer loving adventurer in the Denver Metro!

I adore this place. My friend had called ahead and warned them that we were bringing a big party, and one of the owners personally came by not just to check on us, but gave us a tour of the back-room brewing facility, beer in hand of course. The service is top notch, even when they are completely slammed. Everyone who works here is so nice and friendly that you feel like you are at a party in a buddy's garage rather than a brewery. That feeling is augmented by the fact that this brewery is basically in a store-it-all garage with the big roll up door that they open and turn the parking lot into a patio, love it! The beers are fantastic. They're creative, different and fun. The cherry beer is a great "chick beer" and the cherry bomb is to die for. I fell in love with their beer before I'd ever been there, having had the IPA at Hops & Pie, where they run the beer through fresh hops just before it is served, awesome! They have $1 off coupons online, cheap drafts and samplers. This is just a great place to drop by and spend an afternoon drinking some beers at. Oh, and they have just increased their signage, so you may actually be able to find this place, now ;) read more

Strange Craft was literally recommended to us by a random guy we met on a chair lift up in breck when we told him the part of town we were in. So we figured why not give it a try, and we sure are glad we did. Strange has some really authentic and intricate tasting beers that we absolutely loved. My boyfriend and I shared a flight to start to try a bit of everything. Everything was super flavorful the Zora Pale Ale had hints of Rosemary that made it super unique and my boyfriends favorite. The Cherry Kriek was my favorite and although it comes out bright red it didn't taste overly fruity or sweet. We also really like the Mango Tajin Sour that had a subtle kick to it, and the Grapefruit IPA was an easy tasty drinker, and again not over fruity. The staff were super friendly and helpful while we were there and even taught me a new drinking game, Bitches, which I loved. The only thing that keeps me from giving it 5 stars is its location. It's a bit hard to find and doesn't look like much from the outside. But the saying never judge a book by its cover, truly applies to this brewery. read more

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! read more

Great beer. Staff sucks. It's incredibly unwelcoming when you walk into a new place, make eye contact with the bartender, ask how's it going, and the only response is a cold stare back. Whatever lady, you can hate your job but, we came for the watermelon beer. After living here for 8 years and as many beer spots there are to pick in Denver - I recommend going somewhere else. read more

Unique beers, ciders, and ales. Cherry Kreik is delightful, and the food truck ( La Chaparrita) was a delicious addition with our drinks

Unique atmosphere! Went here after a day of climbing for a tap beer. They have flights so you can try as many beers as you want. Outside is along railroad tracks and they have a nice set up. Very pretty during sunset read more

Great beer! The place is small, so happy they opened it up a bit. It's worth the hassle. Parking is also horrible! I think they're great brewery and hoping their success will lead to new location worthy of their beers! You must go if you like great beer! read more

Tucked in a forgotten part of Denver, just past the railroad tracks near I-25, sits Strange Brewing Company. There's barely enough room to host 20 to 25 people, but who cares? It isn't about the space; it's about the beers. And Strange is doing something spectacularly right! During a recent UYE Brewery Crawl across Denver, I was lucky enough to sample several of Strange's creations: Le Bruit du Diable, Cherry Kriek, Cherry Stout, and their unnamed gluten-free brew. The brew masters, hailing from the great state of Wisconsin, are on to something. Each beer had something unique and delicious to offer. I felt like Goldilocks happening upon her "just right" drink: nothing too crazy and nothing short of perfection. Strange's name says it all: it's strange to find something so good in a strange area of town. Awesome brews, awesome people, awesome HH. A return is indeed in order. Quick tip: Strange won a Gold Medal at GABF this year for their gluten-free beer! Congrats on your well-deserved win! read more

1 star for the $6 to $8 taster sets you can purchase and share. My group of four shared two large tasters and between the very generous sample pours and high alcohol content of these strong Strange brews, we definitely could have stuck to the smaller set that doesn't contain the stouts, or just one large. But when playing hooky on a Friday with amazing weather and friends in town to celebrate a milestone birthday, it was appropriate to go big (see photo). 2 stars for the great variety of yummy dark stouts and porters, especially the vanilla and honey coffee. 3 stars for the cool warehouse-y tasting room with garage doors that open up for fresh air and sunshine. Lots of seating at tables and a high bar with stools alongside the wall. Not too crowded, easy to find, free parking...it's nice to not have to venture too far downtown to try some delicious, fresh, cold craft beer. 4 stars for the free popcorn machine! Always much appreciated when you're not trying to absolutely obliterate your day in one hour at a brewery. read more

Strange Craft Beer Company - Two sets of large tasters, otherwise known as a sea of beer - Breweries Near Me - Denver, Colorado

The location is pretty cool with a big garage door that opens into the parking lot. They had a food truck there that looked tasty. Of the 10 beers that we tasted, we only like 5-6. The pumpkin stout, i think it was a stout, was gross. It tasted like burnt coffee with burnt hair mixed in. Almost undrinkable. This place is worth a try as even if you don't like them all, the tasting is cheap and you get to try new things. I would probably go back during another season to see what they've got on tap. read more

Strange Craft Beer Company - 10 tastes for $15 - Breweries Near Me - Denver, Colorado

After traveling to Denver, it seems only fitting that our first stop after getting off the plane was to find some tasty, local beer. Strange Craft did not disappoint. Following GPS directions, we were surprised to find this place tucked away in a strip mall, in what seemed to be an industrial neighborhood. Parking was a bit challenging in the small lot, but we were determined and nothing was going to stand in our way. The interior of Strange Craft is very small and cozy. We were there on a Thursday afternoon so it wasn't too cramped, but I could see this place getting uncomfortably packed on the weekends. We asked the bartender if they served flights. She unenthusiastically asked for our ID's, which we produced. Had she offered any details about the flight that they offered, we may have ordered something else, but within a couple of minutes, without a smile, and without any explanation that their flights consist of TEN beers, she appeared with a giant board, filled with a rainbow of small glasses filled with tasty beer. I really enjoyed the beer...a lot, actually. I was in love with the Cherry Kriek. Their stouts were also delicious. We had plans to eat elsewhere or we likely would have been tempted by the items on their small menu or by the food truck out front. I could definitely see this place becoming a regular hang out for me if I lived in the area. read more

Strange Craft Beer Company - Flight at Strange Craft - Breweries Near Me - Denver, Colorado

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. read more

I have to admit, i'm kind of a beer snob. it could be my love of the craft, or just the fact that one of my best friends is an awesome homebrewer, but strange brewing is just.plain.awesome. and quite delicious! In talking with the owner, sampling every beer [for free] i have come to the realization that this brewery holds up to it's name. -strange flavors of beers....which just happen to be delicious and one of a kind! -strange location...in a strip mall and hard to see, but def worth a stop in. -strange crew...and by strange, i mean not at all :) the owner=super nice and the bartenders are always friendly. -strange prices....dirt cheap :) all in all, despite it's name, this brewery is anything but strange...and one of my new favorites :) read more

Let me first say that the staff here is awesome! They will make you feel like family, even if it's the first time you managed to find your way here. There will be a lot of regulars but plenty of newbies like yourself. Pull up a stool/chair/bench and settle in for some tasty beer! As a disclaimer, I'm not a hophead, so many of their beers are too bitter for my taste. However, there are several Belgian-styles that I love and will keep coming back for! If you are overwhelmed by their large tap list (and you have a right to be), drop the cash for the taster flight (share with a friend - it's a LOT of beer) and then commit to a pint of your favorite! On weekends they usually have live music and food trucks (check their FB page for updates on who/when). I really enjoy their collaborations and events that they do with other local companies (e.g., dinners, tasting events, movies). Look around the place for posters of fun things coming up! read more

What a great spot before a Bronco game or anytime actually! My favorite is the half and half Grapefruit Breakfast IPA and the Cherry Kriek. Recommended by the owner actually. There is limited parking. There is usually a food truck out front. I have been here before when it was not quite as crowded, but it may be a little crowded due to the Bronco home game! They have 3 rooms for seating and out back they have games and some seating. I have seen dogs here in the past. read more

This isn't the most convenient location in the city but when I happened to be close by and needing to kill some time before heading home I stopped for a beer. Wow, so glad I did every beer I tried was great. The chocolate stout, Belgian, cherry kriek and pale ale were all outstanding. Each had great flavor and aroma, which is key for me as I enjoy engaging all of my senses. I would also add the staff was very friendly and provided a lot of details on the beers and brewery. I highly recommend strange craft. read more

This place has really good beer- loved the Cherry Kriek- it had ALOT of flavor. The atmosphere is cool- its very chill, has games but a little on the small side. The only reason I am giving 3 stars versus 4 stars is the staff. I don't think I saw one person smile. It wasn't like you were slammed or we came right when you opened. Just cause you have good beer doesn't mean you can't be welcoming to your customers. Even thought I like the beer- for the distance Id have to drive to come back ill probably avoid this place and go to a place that's more friendly. read more

It's been a while since I stopped in at Strange and I have no idea why. Their beer is fantastic, they brew some of the best beers in town, had an Octoberfest and my go to, the Grapefruit IPA...so good, crisp and hoppy with just a hint of grapefruit in the finish. Took a growler home realizing this is the standard I use to judge other IPA's, and few live up to the challenge. All of Strange beers are great and everyone from sours to ales to hopheads will find a truly great beer here. read more

I went here on Saturday afternoon for a birthday party and had a pretty good experience. All of the beer is really tasty but the service is just pretty slow hence with the 4 stars instead of 5. The staff is polite so that helped. They have a lot of games in the beer garden as well as plenty of tables to sit at so it's great for hosting a large group. It's a little off the beaten path of all of the other breweries in Rino but they do have a lot of parking out front and the beer garden backs up to the W Line so it can get a little loud at times but not bad at all. read more

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! read more
