Fonias Pale Ale, the beer of Samothraki

About Fonias Pale Ale beer

Fonias Pale Ale is a fresh beer, unfiltered and unpasteurized, bittersweet, of the pale ale variety, with 6.2% alcohol content. To fully enjoy its flavor you shouldn't drink it ice cold, but rather at a temperature of 6-7 degrees Celsius (43-45 degrees Fahrenheit).

The bottles should be stored upright to allow the sediments to settle at the bottom.

The New Fonias Beers

The summer of 2020 brought a new type of beer: Fonias Golden Ale, a limited edition with four types of hops and 5.5% alcohol.

July 2021 marked the launch of Fonias Summer IPA, a stronger beer with 6.7% alcohol, fruitier and of a lighter color than Fonias Pale Ale.

In 2022, 2023 and 2024, alongside the already classic Fonias Pale Ale, the Samothraki Microbrewery also made Fonias India Pale Ale - more flavored and stronger, width 6.7% alcohol.

Pair the beer with graviera from the small cheese factory Papanikolau in Makrylies!

Drink like a local! When you clink the beer glasses say Yia mas!, which means "cheers!" or "to us!" in Greek.
