Comment on Which Greek Beer Is Best Mythos Fix Or Alfa by Rob

In reply to Keith H. There is not much between these beers, but I felt Fix has just that little bit more depth in flavour, although Lou thought Alfa was the better beer. Mythos seems to be the most popular though among most people. Cheers

Been to Crete the last two years in a row and Alfa is so ubiquitous it’s ridiculous. I saw it everywhere – to a much greater extent than Mythos. To me Alfa is like a Greek Pacifico. Not by taste, but because of the niche it serves. Not supporting you order because it’s particularly fully bodied or has much personality. More like what you drink because you’re thirsty, it’s hot, it goes down clean, and it invites drinking more than one in a row. It’s the perfect beer to go with the lamb you’re probably eating for those reasons and because it doesn’t add its own level of drunk in addition to the raki you’ve also got in a carafe on the table.

Mythos is not “totally different”, but to me at least it has a little more personality than Alfa does.

In reply to Peter Ratcliffe.

I had my first Rev. yesterday at a The Swan, Broadway, Cotswolds, and thought it excellent; the best ale I’ve had in some time. So I disagree very much with Rob’s valuation – but as you say, taste is very personal.
Many thanks is due to The Swan
for caring for it so well.

i love this beer, it’s more like a bitter than lager. Have it cold for a better experience. Will be buying a few more bottles for Christmas and New Year.

In reply to Janice Haudiquet.

You can buy it direct from their website Banks’s Beer, or you might find that some of the supermarkets may stock it. I hope that helps.
Cheers

Comment on Is Ice Breaker Unfiltered Pale Ale A Hit by Rob

In reply to Steve Harvey.

You are right, I was in a Greene King pub only yesterday (Feathers Inn, Wadesmill, Hertfordshire) and no Ice Breaker on tap, But Level Head was standing proud and popular. I think Greene King have moved on. Level Head is pretty good though, I enjoyed it.

Cheers
Rob
