The 1st Craft Beer Tours in Greece !

Updated: May 30

This is an exciting time for the Greek Beer Scene which now counts over 110 independent breweries (craft, nano-micro or contract).


It is BOOMING!

We're here to spread the word far & wide:


GREEK CRAFT BEER IS INCREDIBLE!




Greece...

Crete Island...

The land of white mountains, azure blue seas, and craft beer! Yes, you heard right!

Now, it is true that Greece has a world-renowned reputation for it's wines, due to the fact that it is geographically part of Europe's grapevine utopia ... which perhaps explains why the Gods of Olympia drank that instead of beer!


What is now turning heads & blowing traveller's minds is

the rise of the passionate, talented & incredible Greek Craft Beer Scene.


As far as Crete Island is concerned, the low-down is that until 2017, there were only 3 breweries on the largest of all Greek islands. In the span of only three years, in 2020, that number had jumped to 12, and today, in 2023, we count 15 (some are contract)!

In the whole Greece, we now count over 110 independent breweries ( micro, nano, craft & nomads )! Considering that the craft beer revolution began in the United States back in the 1970's, it was about time.


From one-man-show microbreweries and experimental beer-labs, to large teams of passionate brewers in warehouses and state-of-the-art breweries, the range and variety of beer styles is getting wider all the time.


To the delight of local and international beer afficionados, Greek craft brews can now more easily be picked up at corner kiosks, bottle shops, restaurants, pubs and bars.

This is where we come in!


We proudly created the 1st ever Craft Beer Walking Tours in Greece!
