Brink's (Rethymnian Brewery)

The Greek press calls it 'arguably Crete's best-known beer, at home and beyond the borders': Brink's, the Rethymnian brewery, has turned the town of the minaret and the Venetian loggia into a name that travels on beer lists far beyond the island. Its craft beers, poured from the old-town tavernas to the beaches of Bali and Episkopi, act as Cretan ambassadors to visitors and export markets alike. Between the Fortezza fortress, the traditional weddings of the hinterland and the monasteries of Arkadi and Preveli, Brink's puts Rethymno on the itinerary of any beer lover crossing Crete from west to east.
