I only ever drink Mythos - or Alpha if Mythos is not available (Apanemo) - but will give Fix a try for a change.

Used to drink Amstel many years ago in Plakis,  then the Mythos fixation took over, so it's only Mythos now!!!

I to used to be an Amstel drinker then swapped to Mythos when it appeared as a Greek beer on different islands. When it was taken over by Scottish & Newcastle brewery I swapped to Alpha and Fix which I believe are still genuine Greek owned brewery's. There is also a craft brewery in Athens which makes a small range of draught beers, which I am sure some of the forum members have tried. These beers are available on some islands but not highly promoted, if anyone comes across these beers I would recommend trying them. I seem to remember that 'On the Rocks' in Plakias advertised it at one time but did not have any when I asked.

By the way - IF you open the link (for the Fix dark) there are some amusing youtube adverts for it which will make you chuckle (or cluck or quack)!!! I especially like the last one with the "weather vein"

Apparently the micro brewery at Armeni on the road from Rethymnon (on the right as you head to Plakias) is (or was) good. Very local ! I am not sure if it is still operational or if it opens to visitors (my CAMRA colleagues would be keen !). I prefer Mythos. Hubbie likes Amstel but we're always keen to try others so will keep a look out this year !

Oh, I forgot to add last time that I also drink Rethymnon light and dark beer, but am not sure if it's genuinely brewed locally in Rethymnon or by one of the international conglomerates.
