Strange Brew
Weird liquid mixture
Strange brew refers to an unusual or mysterious mixture—literal or figurative.
The phrase evokes something concocted with uncertain ingredients or unpredictable effects, like a witch's potion: What strange brew have you cooked up this time?
It gained cultural currency from the 1967 Cream song and the 1983 Canadian comedy film featuring the McKenzie Brothers.
