Description
Who are Satyr Brews? It is Nikiforos and Paraskevas who decided to make beers with the method of nomadic brewing, known outside as gypsy brewing.

Dear fan, ex-customer, or rival, you just discovered the Satyr Brews website. Satyr was Greece’s first craft contract brewing brand. It was founded around the end of 2015, and released its first beer in April 2016. So ahead of its time, that it immediately settled on the nr.1 position of Greece’s beers on Ratebeer. We got the “best new brewer in Greece” award too!

During the following five years we brewed ten recipes, did the first collabs on Greek soil, we worked together with rock bands, brewed with then-unconventional ingredients, brewed abroad, participated in festivals, released anniversary beers for bars, designers and popular websites, had various popular websites write articles about us. We even set up a Soundcloud account, where various DJs uploaded a mix for each of our beers, a soundtrack fitting to their unique character, thus offering you a full consumption experience.

In September 2020, after the coronavirus offered us a chance for introspection, we decided that Satyr had completed itsmission, having contributed more than a bit to the creation of a vibrant local craft beer scene fully in touch and in conversation with the global trends. We brewed one last goodbye recipe, wrote down a retrospective blog post, and moved on!

Tap at the Lazy Bulldog, Athens. A nice blend in taste of old and new hops. Fruity yet musty. Bitter. Very smart beer. Didnt realise it was top 50. Nice beer and nice pub

330mL bottle, pours a cloudy dull golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out piney hops upfront, with some bready malt. Flavour tastes less than fresh, with subdued piney hops and a toasted biscuity malt base. It has died down a little since its freshest, or so I'm told. Still good, just nothing overly special.

Il luppolo va a dare soddisfazione al naso. L'olfatto viene sollecitato in maniera elevata e la continuità olfattiva è apprezzabile. Il cappello di schiuma resiste abbastanza. La grandezza delle bollicine è a grana fine. Il liquido è di aspetto nuvoloso. La frizzantezza si presenta sotto forma di bollicine fini. Il colore è giallo ambrato torbido. Il corpo è strutturato. L'amaro è deciso. L'intensità gustativa è elevata. La costanza gustativa è buona. Il gusto è piacevole. Il finale è amarognolo. Il retrogusto è intenso. Sul palato si depositano impressioni di miele, frutta secca, luppolo, resina, pino, agrumi, pompelmo e mandarino.
