Strange Brew Athens

Born in 2015 in the kettles of the Laconian brewery near Sparta, George, Orestis and Antonis turned Strange Brew into Greece's most cult nomad brewer, now producing at Chios Beer and Alea Brewing. Their Jasmine IPA, first brewed in 2017, became the standard-bearer of Athenian craft, backed by Dr. Haze, the Mandy Black export stout and the Chloe Unity Lager, a permanent collaboration with Alea. The Uncle Jam's Brewhouse Tales and Cellar Jams series — aged in wine, whisky or tsipouro barrels — feed the Falirou Street taproom: twelve taps, a seventies-rock soundtrack and the founders themselves behind the bar, a short walk from the National Museum of Contemporary Art.
