Good Greek Beer with Souvlaki?

[auroracoor1]

I’m planning a Greek-inspired BBQ night and want to pair my homemade souvlaki with a great Greek beer. I’ve had Mythos before and enjoyed it, but I’m curious if there are other Greek beers worth trying, especially ones that complement the smoky, herby flavors of grilled meat.

Are there specific Greek lagers or ales that you recommend for this classic pairing? I’d love something refreshing that balances the richness of the souvlaki without overpowering it.

Also, are there any craft beers from Greece that have a unique twist or flavor profile? I’m open to trying something new and a bit different, as long as it fits the theme of the night.

If you’ve paired Greek beer with souvlaki before, I’d love to hear your recommendations and any tips for creating the perfect BBQ experience. Thanks!

Your Greek-inspired BBQ night sounds amazing! While Mythos is a solid choice, here are a few other Greek beers worth exploring:

1. Fix Hellas: A crisp and clean lager that’s perfect for pairing with the herby flavors of souvlaki. It’s light, refreshing, and balances the richness without stealing the spotlight.
2. Alfa Beer: Another classic Greek lager with a smooth, slightly sweet finish. It’s easy-drinking and complements grilled meat beautifully.
3. Nisos Pilsner: A craft option from Tinos island, this award-winning pilsner has a slightly bitter edge and floral notes, making it an elegant match for smoky BBQ flavors.
4. Septem Sunday’s Honey Golden Ale: For something unique, this ale is brewed with Greek honey, adding a subtle sweetness that pairs surprisingly well with the savory, charred elements of souvlaki.

These are all good schoices!

I love Greek barbecues because they literally have everything! For beers I would suggesting choosing one of the many craft beers made in Greece.
