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!

330 ml bottle at home. Almost clear, dark golden orange color with off white head. Malty and hoppy aroma, fruity, citrus, stone and light tropical fruits, grassy, light pine, caramel. light sweet and moderate to heavy bitter taste like aroma, maybe a little bit more "grassy". Medium oily body with soft carbonation. I think I liked it from tap a little bit more

Holy hell dude, you have TWO 100 point IPAs in Greece now? Thanks for the ship! Bottle, pours fairly hazy golden orange, small white head, good lacing. Aroma is oranges, grapefruit, perfume, caramel, pine. Flavor is light plus sweet, medium bitter, fruity, strong malt presence, interesting perfume characteristic. Medium body, soft mouthfeel. Not bad, but could use less sweetness and less malt presence in general.

400ml x 2 draught, outdoor at Brick’s ... Your Cretan Beerhouse. Slowly fading white head over a cloudy, grey-golden body. Clingy lacing. Inviting hop fruity nose of tropical fruits. Succulent taste of juicy hops, lots of orange and peaches. Wheat-like backbone. Smooth bitter fruity end. Super refreshing and well built. Enjoyed under the Cretan sun in friendly company with Jon Gunnar, Ann-Rita and Eivind Arne (Rethymnon 12.06.2017).
