Macedonian Microbrewery

Welcome to the Macedonian Microbrewery of Drama, a brewing haven born in 2015 in the picturesque Doxato, Drama, under the visionary leadership of Mr. Ioannis Etoglou. Here, we proudly stand as the trailblazers, the first and only brewery in the region crafting an exquisite range of fresh, unpasteurized beers.

Picture this: an annual production capacity of 2000 hectoliters unfolds within our expansive 600-square-meter facility. Immerse yourself in a world where state-of-the-art equipment harmonizes with top-tier raw materials, carefully selected to elevate your beer-drinking experience. Drama, famed for its pristine water, takes center stage as the secret ingredient, contributing to the exceptional quality that defines each sip.

Our story unfolds on a sun-kissed May afternoon, a few years back, when a vibrant group gathered at our beloved spot in Drama. A feast of local delights and wines set the stage, transitioning seamlessly to the star of the show – our draft beer, a refreshing elixir to quench every thirst.

Drama, celebrated for its wines, sparked a tantalizing idea in Ioannis Etoglou’s mind: “Why shouldn’t Drama have its own beer?” Thus began our journey, with Ioannis procuring top-notch equipment and transforming his free time into a pursuit of beer perfection. The result? A beer that stole the hearts of the “Yiannides” at a convivial gathering – the birth of JOHNNIES’ BEER.

Our microbrewery, an ode to our hometown, is a celebration of uniqueness and greatness emerging from the seemingly modest corners of our town. Our commitment to Drama’s essence and its rich offerings is the pulsating heartbeat of this venture.
