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!

On tap at The Lazy Bulldog. I solemnly sware to the God of Hops, this is the best Greek IPA I’ve ever had. Full of fruity and grassy aromas, great kick of hoppiness, but also well balanced with caramel malty notes. Pours hazy orange with thick white head and somehow oily finish. Surprisingly good lacing, light to medium mouthfeel, slightly citrusy bitter aftertaste, fair carbonation. Words are not enough to express my enthusiasm. I had three pints, one after the other. Kicks serious ass!!
