Strange Brew: The Very Best of Cream is a 1983 compilation album by the British rock band Cream.

Critical reception

In a contemporary review, Village Voice critic Robert Christgau wrote that the album "must be the fifth or sixth Cream reissue--I stopped counting around 1976--but it's the only one I ever played twice, and I've always wanted an album with 'Anyone for Tennis?' on it."[1] AllMusic critic Rob Bowman later gave it three stars and praised the compilation as being "what the title implies, all the finest tracks from the band's four studio albums. The best was brilliant."[2]
