An enjoyable couple of hours from noon onwards spent here chatting to the brewer and a couple of French students on work experience while sampling the bottled beers available. Friendly welcome and nothing was too much trouble so worth the risk getting out here using the infrequent bus service from Chania centre.

The pub is found in Crete, Greece, 731 00.

In 2011 a Greek boy studying wine making and beverage technology visited Belgium to know more about the beer culture and met there a Belgian girl that would show him the way through the Belgian beer. Five years later they ended up living together in Crete and decided to make their own Belgian-Greek Beer. A fusion of the Belgian knowledge and culture with the fantastic Greek products and climate, what else do you need for an aromatic fresh beer? It was about time in 2017 to finally get out there and launch their own product: Triple Hop Pale Ale. An aromatic, refreshing, unfiltered and unpasteurized handcrafted beer that is nowhere else to be found than in the paradisiacal island of Crete.

We have visited this pub once, seen 3 different beers and tried them all.
