Korfi Microbrewery

In Katerini, capital of Pieria, the Korfi microbrewery — 'the summit' — brews the Vambeer pilsner and lager with the most imposing of guarantors as a backdrop: Mount Olympus, whose 2,918-metre Mytikas peak towers over the town. Between the beaches of the Thermaic Gulf, the fortress of Platamon and the Refuge A trails climbing towards the home of the gods, its fresh beers give hikers and summer visitors a welcome local alternative. An hour from Thessaloniki, Korfi adds Pieria to Central Macedonia's brewing map — proof that even Zeus, between two nectars, would now have something to toast with.
