Ammousa Beer Lab Experience – Greek Craft Beer in Patras

Discover the creative world of modern Greek craft beer through a guided laboratory tour and tasting experience at AMMOUSA Beer, an award-winning microbrewery based in Patras.

Founded in 2016 by engineer Giorgos Dano, Ammousa began as a small home-brewing project in a basement before evolving into a professional brewery in early 2019. From the very beginning, the vision was to unite two arts that may seem different but are deeply connected: beer and food.

Today, Ammousa counts over 25 international awards and collaborates with leading restaurants in Greece and abroad, offering beers designed specifically to accompany fine cuisine.

The Ammousa Beer Lab Experience offers a rare behind-the-scenes look into the creative side of Greek craft brewing.

Guests are welcomed into the brewery’s research and development lab — a space dedicated to experimentation, recipe design, and flavor development. Rather than a standard production tour, this experience focuses on how ideas become beer.

Participants learn about:

The philosophy behind Ammousa and its strong connection to gastronomy

• Raw ingredients and their sensory impact
• How a beer concept evolves into a finished recipe
• Aroma and flavor balance
• The testing process that precedes commercial production

Special emphasis is placed on how each label is designed to pair with food, positioning beer as a true gastronomic product.

Guided Beer Tasting

The experience concludes with a guided tasting of selected Ammousa beers.

During the tasting session, guests explore:

• Aromatic profiles
• Flavor layers
• Texture and structure
• Food-pairing potential

Visitors also sample selected bee products when available, reinforcing the brewery’s broader philosophy of craftsmanship, natural ingredients, and sensory authenticity.

This guided tasting demonstrates how craft beer can stand alongside fine cuisine, offering complexity, elegance, and culinary depth.

Who This Experience Is For

The Ammousa Beer Lab Experience is ideal for travelers, food lovers, and beer enthusiasts who wish to go beyond production and enter the world of recipe creation, flavor design, and modern Greek brewing culture.

It is an educational, immersive journey into how contemporary Greek craft beer is imagined, developed, and enjoyed.
