The GOODS from Strange Fellows Brewing

Vancouver, BC | A joyous and colourful celebration of life, Carnival is celebrated all over the world. From March 10th through 16th, Strange Fellows Brewing will celebrate the Belgian Carnival tradition with our Jongleur Wit and Belgian-inspired charcuterie boards (complete with waffles). On Sunday March 13th, we invite all to come make merry with us and The Carnival Band – East Vancouver’s own community music project.

2–4pm Masked revellers will receive a Free Beer.

Amid bursts of confetti and music, the juggler entertains us with a handful of oranges. As the oranges rise and fall, the planets revolve in the universe, babies are born and the old pass on. Making that which is difficult look effortless and all of life’s worries seem insignificant, the juggler teaches us a simple lesson: To take pleasure in both the big & the small things in life.

Celebrated worldwide, Carnival is a joyous and colourful celebration of life that inspires us to celebrate every day (with a glass of beer).

Strange Fellows is an East Vancouver craft brewery inspired by tradition and creativity that goes beyond the ordinary to celebrate that which is strange* and extraordinary. We invite you to celebrate with us each month as we observe a different Strange Day, inspired by obscure superstitions and folklore from around the world.

The Carnival Band is a community-based ensemble of brass, woodwinds, drums, percussion, accordion, and voice. No matter what their influence – samba, calypso, swing, afro beat, jazz, funk, disco or traditional music – joy and celebration is at the heart of their super-fun performance.

So don a mask and join us for a festive afternoon of beer, waffles and music in celebration of both the big and the small things in life!

The People

Strange Fellows: Aaron Jonckheere & Iain Hill
Fellow About Town/Sales: Nick Black
Fellow in the Room/Bar Manager: Kayin Fields

Strange Fellows Brewing is the creation of Iain Hill & Aaron Jonckheere, erstwhile strangers who each dreamed of starting A brewery. When a mutual friend decided they should meet, little did they know this would be the first step they would take toward realizing their common dream.

Iain is a craftsman who takes great interest in life’s details. An award-winning brewer with over 20 years experience, he is compelled to create beer that is unique & rooted in authenticity. As a pioneer of BC’s craft brewing industry, Iain has achieved many firsts , but the need to start his own BREWERY grew stronger over the years. He had always been INSPIRED to have a place where he could create the beer he dreamed of, so when BY chance he met Aaron, he was ready.

Aaron is a daydreamer & wanderer with a keen interest in the TRADITION & CREATIVITY of craft brewing. Exposure to great beer by way of his Belgian heritage, & being a third-generation home brewer himself, provided the desire THAT GOES with starting a brewery. He was just missing a brewing partner to do it with. So Aaron followed his vision to create a place that would make the beer he loved to drink. And on a cold winter day, his path led to Iain.

Iain & Aaron don’t always see eye-to-eye, but BEYOND their differences they do agree on what they want to make: Beer inspired by THE Old World, but brewed right here on the West Coast. Far from ORDINARY, these two strangers have gone from daydreaming to creating the brewery they are proud of. When you drink a glass of Strange Fellows, you are sharing in their commitment TO unique & unapologetic beer, crafted for those who aren’t afraid to stand out in the crowd & CELEBRATE THAT WHICH IS STRANGE.

ABOUT STRANGE FELLOWS

Old World Inspired – West Coast Crafted

We are an East Vancouver craft brewery inspired by tradition and creativity that goes beyond the ordinary to celebrate that which is strange* and extraordinary.

The beer we make is influenced by both old world traditions and West coast ingenuity and often inspired by seasonal ingredients. Our barrel programme promises unique aged beers and we have a bit of a thing for sour beer.

Our Tasting Room is open daily for growler fills and gathering with friends. We offer an ever-changing selection of beer as well as tasty locally sourced grub to go with.

Our beer is on tap at many fine drinking establishments and restaurants, and our packaged product in private liquor stores around town.

Tucked in alongside the Tasting Room, the Charles Clark Gallery is a venue for artists to share their vision with exhibits changing monthly.

We invite you to celebrate with us each month as we observe a different Strange Day, inspired by obscure superstitions and folklore from around the world.

* We define strange as unique, unexpected or extraordinary
