Description
The origin of the brewery go back to 1968 when Henninger Hellas company, the local Greek distributor of the German Henninger beer, was founded. In 1994 it was renamed as Northern Greece Brewery. In 1997 Mythos Beer was introduced, and in 2001 the company renamed itself as the Mythos Brewery S.A. Since 2008 it has been a subsidiary of Carlsberg Group. In 2014 a restructured Olympic Brewery was established after the merger of Mythos and Olympic.
Olympic Brewery is a strong and reliable company in the domestic beer market. Combining Greek DNA and the global imprint of the Carlsberg Group dynamics, it is a key player that not only envisions, but can also change the beer map of Greece. In 2018 Carlsberg acquired the remaining 49% in Olympic Brewery. When Mythos Brewery and Olympic merged in 2014, Carlsberg already had already gained a controlling 51 % share in the company.

A clear gold, with a small, white head. It smells of herbs, hops, malt, and a touch of skunk. The body is full, rather dry, with medium carbonation and no bitterness. The taste is lightly malty, with lemon notes. A standard beer, without any excitement, but excellent for the Greek heat.

0.33 l bottle at 'Anthema', best before October 2026. Clear, golden with a medium large, frothy, slowly diminishing, white head. Slightly sweetish, a little floral aroma of grains, light straw and traces of wort. Gently sweet, malty, moderately bitter, minimally grassy taste of grains, straw and a touch of wort, followed by a short, moderately bitter, gently dry finish. Thin to medium body, gently effervescent mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Drinkable.

Clear golden pour with a somewhat shortlived white head. Malt, grains and herbs for a bitter finish. Not bad, but also not very exciting.
