The Beer Thread

[Carbomb]

As mentioned in the Banging Sunsets thread, just got back from Rhodes, and got to try several Greek beers at various restaurants:

Alpha draught is very nice - they also do one with sea salt, which doesn't actually taste salty, but it does taste a little like if they used San Pellegrino water in making it.

Mythos is probably the main brand of beer in Greece - decent lager, nice cold. Washed down those keftedakia nicely.

Mamos was good, slightly maltier, but again, like most lagers, best served cold in a frosted glass.

This one's call Fix. Very malty, I found, which I quite like. Never got to try Fix Dark, so hopefully will try when I go again.

Zythos - very clean, crisp flavour, and very refreshing.

 

Overall, despite not being a lager fan, I enjoyed these. To be fair, these are probably the most suitable beers for the kind of weather they get.

Fix dark is lovely!

I enjoy Mythos, bonus is that you can sometimes get it in Lidl.

You can usually get it in B&M too. I think it’s owned by Carlsberg these days.
