Description
The idea started an afternoon in London when Nicolas Pavlakis from Paros and Marinos Alexandrou from London were dreaming about beer and Paros. You don't get too many warm afternoons in London, as you do in the Greek islands. A craft beer that you would enjoy under the sun of the Aegean. Rich in flavour, crisp and joyful. Brewed in our beloved Paros and named in honour of all the 56 Isles of the Cyclades, cosmopolitan, with beautiful landscape and the warmth of the people.
In the first months of 2016 the final stage of production was completed and from April the first beer, a light pilsner, "56isles" was released to the highly anticipating Paros market. The microclimate of the area and the use of barley grown on the island gives a special flavour to the beer. The saltiness of the sea, the sunshine and the quality of the raw materials used add to the taste, highlighting the specific taste characteristics whilst the use of quality hop varieties from different countries and malt with highly aromatic and tasty character reveal the individual components of the recipe.

330ml (blue) bottle. Pours clear dark gold with a medium-sized white head. Aroma is malt, grass, and cooked vegetables. Taste is light bitter, barley, bread, citrus. I agree with Grumbo. It’s kinda like some obscure country tick. Great bottle, though.

5/12/2018. Bottle (a curiously blue one at that) from Barley Cargo, Athens. Pours very pale gold with a small white head. Aroma of grain, hops, caramel, grass and citrus. Moderate sweetness and light bitterness. Light body, watery texture, average carbonation. Reminiscent of an obscure African country tick. Nice blue bottle though.
