Zythopoiia Peloponnisou (Karma Beer)

Daring to make beer in Nemea borders on provocation: this Corinthian valley is the capital of agiorgitiko, the Peloponnese's great red, and its roads line up wineries the way others line up olive groves. Yet this is where the Peloponnese Brewery installed the Karma range, poured from Corinthian cellars to Argolic beaches, with the sanctuary of Nemean Zeus and the ancient stadium of the Nemean Games as neighbours. For the enthusiast, the stop feels like a friendly duel: winery tastings in the afternoon, a cold Karma in the village at night — and the legend of Heracles strangling the Nemean lion as a mental label.
