Siris Craft Brewery

On the Serres–Thessaloniki national road, Siris Craft Brewery — named after ancient Serres — ranks among Greece's first microbreweries: since 2013 its team of eight has brewed more than twenty fresh unpasteurised beers under the award-winning Voreia brand ('Passionately crafted in perfect harmony. It's the way we brew up North') and the free-spirited Happy Brewers range, from summer lagers to smoked ambers, stout and imperial porter included. The site doubles as a restaurant where the tanks share the room with Greek cooking, and passing visitors report impromptu tastings and gratis tours — Macedonian hospitality at fermenter height, between Lake Kerkini and the foothills of Menoikio.
