Super useful, thank you! I plan on visiting Crete soon, this will be so tasty, I had no idea Crete had such a good beer scene. 🍻
Thank you guys for the very useful information. I am in Chania & will try to visit some of these places. I have the feeling that the right thing to do is book one for your beer tours first for the full experience, so that's what I am going to do. See you soon😀
