Corfu Lager

Tap to rate

Founded 2006 in Arillas on the northwest coast of Corfu by Spyros Kaloudis, brewed to the Reinheitsgebot on four barley malts and noble aroma hops. Bottom-fermented, unpasteurised, largely unfiltered — shipped alive across Greece. Bright gold, delicate, light in body. 5% vol., 14 IBU — the Ionian island's own answer to the German lager tradition.
