The Ionian Islands are a mystical place: the seven main islands are the stuff of countless legends and heroic stories and have changed their affiliation several times over the course of their turbulent history. The islands in the Ionian Sea belonged to Venice, France, Britain and Russia before ultimately being handed over to Greek hands. Despite all the trials and tribulations over the centuries, the inhabitants of the seven islands have retained their identity and guarded their rich culture like a treasure. Corfu is one of the seven islands and, in addition to countless sights and fairy-tale towns steeped in history, is also home to a small brewery that no longer just supplies the Corfiots with its island beer.
The brewery is located in the picturesque heart of Corfu Town and is named after the legendary seven islands. Seven Island Brewery was founded by two friends. Lefteris Mesimeris and Constantin Pougatsias are united by their great passion for good beer. Before the two became bosses of their own brewery, they enjoyed drinking a beer or two together and talking shop about ingredients, recipes and brewing techniques. Over time, these theoretical discussions turned into concrete plans and then in 2013 into a separate business. With a plan to brew big, bold and flavorful beers, Lefteris and Constantin founded Seven Island Brewery and the fun began.
With their love for handcrafted specialty beers, the two hopheads want to change the beer world a little bit. They herald the end of boring, monotonous beers and enrich the beer market with their special, imaginative and extraordinary creations. Their range is a wild mix of daringly interpreted craft beer classics, international collaborations, award-winning flavor bombs and aromatic specialties. With their brewery, the guys at Seven Island Brewery are following in big footsteps: Even though it was long believed that the ancient Greeks only drank wine, recent discoveries prove that beer was brewed in Greece as early as the Bronze Age. However, brewing did not take off and disappeared for much of Greek history. Brewing was resumed a good 150 years ago and since then the brewing craft has experienced a slow but steady upswing. Young breweries like the Seven Island Brewery are revitalizing the image of Greek beer and making Greece a name on the stages of international competitions.
