When you think of Greece's range of drinks, not only an impossible catchy tune comes to mind, but also a whole range of fine wine. All kinds of grape varieties that produce fine wines thrive on the sunny slopes of the Mediterranean country. The red and white grape essence goes perfectly with Greek cuisine and complements olives, wheat, fish and seafood, vegetables, meat, cheese and herbs with its dry elegance. Even if it was not assumed for a long time, the country's brewing history probably goes back several thousand years and barley juice has now developed into a real alternative to wine. One team that is driving this development forward with their art is the Kykao brewery.
A divine experience
The young brewery is at home at the top of the Peloponnese and has been producing handcrafted beer specialties since 2018. Based on a Greek legend, the brewers want to make beers that generate almost transcendental experiences. Their quest is based on the legend of the Mysteries of Eleusis. An elaborate ceremony celebrated the abduction of Demeter's daughter Persephone by the god of the underworld Hades and her return to the world of the living. The festivities lasted several days and were kept in the strictest secrecy. Only a select group was allowed to take part in the spectacle. An integral part of the rituals was a period of fasting, which ended with a special drink. Today the drink is said to have a psychedelic effect, which could explain the festival participants' religious experiences and encounters with God. It is believed that ergot was responsible. Of course, Kykao's beers do not contain any psychedelic properties and certainly no ergot, but the brewers know their craft and create creations that take you into another world with imagination and irresistible depths of flavor.
With the joy of experimenting to create special beer
Kykao is an independent microbrewery with the aim of producing premium craft beer. Their name comes from the Greek kykao, which means to stir up, confuse or mix together. With its unusual ideas, the brewery wants to touch people and give them unforgettable culinary experiences. Through wild experimentation with brewing techniques, raw materials and styles, the team has created an illustrious range of exciting, challenging, unconventional beers. The brewers spare neither expense nor effort to create outstanding brews: some of the creations mature in oak barrels for several years , others contain expensive raw materials such as fine coffee from Panama or hand-picked mulberries. In addition to the taste of their beers, the team also cares about a relaxed, cooperative working atmosphere and protecting the environment.
