Fix Hellas

Tap to rate

The resurrection of Greece's oldest beer — Fix Hellas was first brewed in 1864 by Bavarian immigrant Johann Karl Fix in Athens, making it the founding beer of Greek brewing history. Discontinued in 1983 and revived by Athenian Brewery in 2012, Fix Hellas is now one of Greece's premium lager brands: clean, golden and crisp with a slightly more pronounced hop character than Mythos. Fix carries enormous Greek historical and cultural significance.
