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.

Bottled. Hazy golden, minimal head. Distinct grassy nose. Very dry and fairly crisp. Dominated by grassy hops, long bitter finish. Refreshing and really pilsnerish.

Bottle @ Crete. Thanks to Kimmer & Metz. Pours clear amber with a small creamy off white head. Bread and caramel. Medium bodied. Smooth. A bit sweet but a pretty fine fine Vienna!

Thanks to Eva for bringing a 330ml slim bottle back from Rethymno, Crete. Clear, amber-brown body. Fragile, beige lacing-head. Earthy, sweet malts to the nose. Semi-sweet flavour of malts and almond including a spicy touch. Lightly roasted. Restrained bitter finish. Soft carbonated. Drinkable, but gives a somewhat unfinished impression (TromsΓΈ, 06.06.2010).
