Peiraiki Microbrewery

In Drapetsona, a working-class district hard against Greece's biggest port, Peiraiki Mikrozythopoiia brews fresh unpasteurised beers that carry Piraeus' maritime identity right onto their labels. A pioneer of the Attica scene, it supplies the fish tavernas of Mikrolimano, the cafés of Kastella and the bars of central Athens, fifteen minutes away by metro. For travellers boarding for the islands it is the mainland's last beer — and often their first taste of Greek craft: an approachable, well-made range born where Attica smells of salt, containers and dockers' strong coffee.
