When Strange Craft Beer Company opened just south of Denver's Mile High Stadium in May 2010, it was the first taproom brewery in the city brewing one barrel of beer at a time. Strange has since become a destination spot for Colorado beer drinkers and taken home multiple awards, including four Great American Beer Festival medals and two World Beer Cups. Despite expansion to a 10 BBL brew house, owner Tim Myers is committed to small batches and refers back to their nano roots with One Barrel Wednesdays for experimental brews.


We are near the 10th and Osage Light Rail, a half a block from the Bike Path.


Strange Pale Ale is brewed in the American Style. Big and hoppy, but balanced and incredibly drinkable. We use three different malts to give Strange Pale Ale a malty complexity and three different hops to balance all that malt and give Strange Pale Ale its huge hop character.


Start your day off right, with a glass of grapefruit, IPA that is. This citrus hop bomb using Citra and Amarillo hops is just what the doctor ordered!


In honor of hitting 1000 barrels brewed since we opened in 2010, we went big time with a hop monster. Over 3 pounds of Simcoe, Amarillo, and Summit hops per barrel in this light gold, easy-drinking Imperial IPA.

Brewed in the American Style. Big and hoppy, but balanced and incredibly drinkable. Five different malts and three different hops balance all that malt and give Strange Pale Ale its huge hop character.


Fruity, spicy, malty. This big, bold beautiful Belgian ale will sneak up on you with its easy drinkability and its high alcohol.


Think cherry pie in a glass. Think cherries picked fresh from the tree. This Belgian Blonde Ale has so many cherries crammed into every glass even the foamy head is red. A cherry cherry lovers dream come true.
