\n<\/p>\n
\nAs you are probably
\naware by my previous postings on this blog, (HERE)<\/a>\u00a0and (also HERE)<\/a>\u00a0over the past few years
\nJane and I have been extremely fortuitous to have been able to spend
\na little time each summer visiting friends of ours, Geordie and
\nLynne, on the beautiful island of Cyprus. Last year, back in June, we
\nwould be joined by Doug and Sharon, 2 more of our hosts’ friends,
\nalso from North East Lincolnshire.<\/div>\n

\nFor the first time we
\nwould be flying from London Stansted airport, a departure point I
\nlast visited during the early part of my taxi driving days in the
\n1990’s. Then, as I recall, it boasted a sizeable and modern terminal
\nbuilding but lacked the air routes and passenger footfall it has now.
\nIn fact, on my previous visit, I arrived, parked outside the main
\nentrance to the terminal, as you could then, and was amazed that I was almost the
\nonly cabbie dropping a fare off there. How times have changed. It now
\nhas around 25 million passengers a year using the facilities with
\nqueues seemingly everywhere. This is accompanied by the constant
\nrumble of aircraft noise, as they are either taking off or landing.
\nAfter we arrived, and dropped the car off at the Meet and Greet, we made our
\nway into the terminal and, after eventually clearing security, we
\ndecided on a drink and a bite to eat. Among the adequate number of
\nrestaurants, cafe bars and eateries is The Windmill,<\/i><\/b> a Wetherspoon’s
\noutlet which, although not as cheap as its High Street cousins, did
\nhave a reasonable selection of cask and craft beers and a good
\nselection of food on the menu.We ordered a pizza and, during our wait
\nto be called to the gate, sampled three of the beers on offer.
\nStarting off with the solid tasting fruit and citrus\u00a0Golden Ale from
\nHanlons Brewery<\/b> , the 4.2% Yellow Hammer,<\/b> before a bottle of
\nRedemption Brewing’s Big Chief IPA<\/b>, 5.5%, a good hoppy beer, with
\njust a hint of honeyed sweetness. These were swiftly followed by a
\nmalty, slightly fruity bottle of East London Brewing Co. Cowcatcher
\nAPA<\/b>, 4.8%. After these it was time to make our way to the gate, board
\nour already slightly late Jet2 Boeing 737 aircraft, taxi out and
\nwait…..wait for another 50 minutes. Apparently we, as many others,
\nhad become victims of an industrial action within France’s Air
\nTraffic Control.<\/p>\n

\nWe arrived at Paphos
\nAirport around 10-30pm, remarkably just after it had stopped raining,
\nthe last bit of precipitation we would experience for the duration of
\nour trip, and we were soon being chauffeured by our hosts back to
\nMandria. Tonight would be a quiet night, just a few local Cypriot
\nfavourite Keo<\/b> or Leon<\/b> beers to wind down, catch up on the gossip and
\nenjoy the company.\n<\/p>\n

\nOver the next few days
\nwe would be out for meals, both in Mandria and Paphos, but the choice
\nof drinks were usually Keo<\/b> or Leon. There were exceptions, but one
\nmust dig around, or do some prior research, to find Real Ales or
\nCraft Ales. Luckily by now I did have that little bit of prior
\nknowledge of the area, and I don’t mind the usual Cypriot lager beers
\non a hot day either. So here is a potted review of what we managed to
\nfind on our most current expedition.<\/p>\n

\n
Paphos<\/h4>\n
\n\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
The Wooden Pub 2,
Tomb of the King’s Road.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

One bar we had visited
\non previous trips is The Wooden Pub<\/i><\/b>. Situated overlooking Paphos
\nHarbour and Municipal Baths, it is in a good area to start, finish or
\nbase yourself for a few drinks when you are in the resort. It is one
\nof a couple of the local Aphrodite’s Rock Brewery<\/b> pubs in the resort.
\nThe selection is quite good, with some cask from Aphrodite’s Rock<\/b> and
\nlocal beers in bottles from True Ale<\/b> and Hop Thirsty Friends,<\/b> nestled
\nwith the Greek based Septem<\/b> brews, alongside which are some British
\nbeers, such as\u00a0Brewdog\u00a0<\/b>and St Austell.<\/b> The vibe is easy going, and if
\nyou just want to chill and watch the world go by,it is the perfect
\nplace. For the slightly more athletic, there are the options of board
\ngames available to help you exercise your brain, if nothing else.
\nJust a 15 to 20 minute stroll away from here is Wooden Pub 2<\/i><\/b>, on The
\nTomb of the Kings Road. Offering a bigger site, which includes a
\nquite sizeable outdoor beer garden, this a good place to chill out
\ntoo. I believe it does offer a bit of entertainment, local bands and
\nsingers, during some evenings. The beer selection is much the same as
\nits sister pub and the staff are very friendly, taking the time to
\nhave some interaction with the punters. During my visits to the two
\nWooden Pub<\/i><\/b>s I managed to sample the couple of beers on offer from Hop
\nThirsty Friends<\/b>. First up was Humor Weiss<\/b>, 5%. This Wittbier is
\nmildly fruity, some banana notes are evident, before a viscous,
\nfruity finish. The second brew, brewed, incidently, for Hop Thirsty
\nFriends<\/b> by Greek based Septem Microbrewery,<\/b> was Humor IPA<\/b>, 6.5%.
\nQuite a solid, if typical IPA, to be fair. There is a reasonable
\nbitterness, balanced well with citrus fruitiness, and a long dry
\nfinish. A good beer to quench your thirst on. I also had chance to
\nre-sample some of the disappointing True Ales<\/b> I tried last year and
\nsome new ones. I started with the spicy Vienna Ale,<\/b> followed with
\nthe reasonably fruity\u00a0Porter <\/b>and finished on the quite grainy Blonde
\nAle,<\/b> all 5%, which is an improvement in ABV’s on the previous
\nofferings. I also bagged a True Ale Ginger Ale<\/b>, coming in at the same
\nstrength, which was quite malty, with yeasty esters at the
\nopening, before the subtle ginger heat kicks in. I would say that
\nthey are not quite there with these brews just yet, but there has
\nbeen a huge improvement in the last year and they are not too far
\naway from producing a decent selection of beers.<\/div>\n

\nThere are, of course,
\nquite a few bars and restaurants in and around these two areas of
\nPaphos, but most other places usually offer just Keo, Leon<\/b> and
\nHeineken<\/b>. It is worth just asking, or looking at the beer fridge
\nbehind the bar though. Some do carry Aphrodite’s Rock<\/b> in bottles, and
\nI did notice Wadworth’s 6X <\/b>on tap (keg I would guess) in a couple of
\nestablishments. Although I didn’t get to visit this time, both the
\nOld Fishing Shack Ale and Cider House<\/i><\/b> in the resort, and The Beer
\nSeller <\/i><\/b>beer shop, just outside in the Geroskipou area, are going
\nstrong under the stewardship of Athos. There are a few bottled
\nbeers, some from the UK and Belgium, appearing in the supermarkets
\ntoo.<\/p>\n

\nOn our last visit we
\nfound the major rebuilding works were still ongoing in the Old Town
\narea. Roads were dug up, pavements non-existent and, to be honest, a
\nright mess. I can, happily, report that almost all the work is
\nfinished. It has made it a bright and airy place to walk around,
\nsteeped in history but with a modern facade, although I haven’t had
\nchance yet to sniff out any real ales or craft beers in the bars.<\/p>\n

\n
Mandria.<\/h4>\n
\n\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
8.5% Duvel in
Klimataria<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

You will find Mandria
\njust a short drive south of Paphos Airport and, although quite
\nmodern, it does have a certain type of old village charm to it. It is
\na growing area with a mixture of resident ex-pats, holiday home
\nrenters and owners, International tourists and, of course, local
\nCypriots. Raves and night-clubbing it isn’t, but more than half a
\ndozen cafe bars and restaurants adorn the village centre, each with
\nits own character. The food choices are more than ample, Italian,
\nFish and Chips, traditional Cypriot dishes, and take-away options are
\nall catered for. There seems to be a local competition as to whom can
\nsupply the biggest pork chop or the most spare ribs so the meals in
\nthe village are very good value for money, whoever you choose.The six of us enjoyed quite a few “competitive” meals here. As for
\nbeer, two neighbouring bars deserve a mention. Klimataria<\/i><\/b> offers all
\nthe usual suspects but, if you ask, you will find bottles of 8.5%
\nDuvel Belgian Strong Beer<\/b> on offer from the fridge here. They are
\nquite reasonably priced too, and, lets face it, this beer, with its
\ngrassy and floral notes, spice at the back leading to a long citrus
\nfinish, rarely disappoints. Directly over the road is Kentrpoikon<\/i><\/b>.
\nYou can find two of the Erdinger Weissbrau<\/b> beers, Weissbier
\nHefe-Weizen<\/b> and Erdinger Weissbier Dunkel<\/b>, on tap here. Both are 5.3%
\nand as\u201dstandard\u201d as you would find anywhere.\n<\/div>\n

\nA trip to Nicosia<\/h4>\n
\nOn our first ever visit
\nto Cyprus, back in 2005, we stayed in the Protaras area. One of our
\nmany highlights from that trip was a visit to the only divided
\ncapital city in the world, Nicosia. It was quite fascinating and
\ncrossing the fortifications of the \u201cGreen Line\u201d, (UN buffer Zone)
\nshowed more than the physical divide between the Greek influenced
\nRepublic of Cyprus and The Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus. Back
\nthen, a visa to cross over the border cost \u00a31 CYP and restrictions
\nover goods were very strict. Now it’s more relaxed and it has more
\nborder crossing points, making it somewhat easier, although tensions
\nstill exist. But this isn’t a history lesson, nor a political
\nanalysis. I will leave that to those who are more qualified.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
No Craft beer. Just a light lunch,
Northern Cyprus style<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

On our
\ntrip, after taking the bus from Paphos to Nicosia, we stayed just a
\ncouple of blocks away from the crossing point in Ledras Street. We
\ncooled down with a couple of Keo’s<\/b> (of course) on our arrival at the
\nnearest street cafe-bar before crossing over to the TRNC for a bite
\nto eat. Now, if you want real ales or craft ales in the north you
\nwill struggle. On our trip over, I did have a couple of \u201cpossible\u201d
\nbars on my list. Unfortunately, with it being late afternoon, a few
\nbars were not open which curtailed our beer search, so food (which
\nwas very cheap, plentiful and absolutely wonderful) and Efes <\/b>were our
\nrewards. Our next trip here might uncover those elusive brews I have
\nbeen searching for. Afterwards we wandered around a little while
\nbefore crossing through the checkpoint and proceeding back over the
\nborder. We’d had a rather pleasant afternoon, one we hope to do
\nagain. Our next stop was Brewfellas,<\/i><\/b> a friendly craft ale bar, just
\noff Ledras Street. It has a pretty good range of beers on tap, as
\nwell as a great selection of botles and canned craft beer. Also there
\nis a beer shop adjacent. We had planned to go out later that evening,
\nso we just had time for a quick drink before heading back to our
\ndigs. My choice was Tempest Brewing’s Elemental Porter,<\/b> 5.1%, a nice
\nbitter-sweet brew with coffee and Dark Chocolate, whilst Jane had
\nthe Budweisser Budvar Czech Pilsner<\/b>, 5%. Both were very well kept.\n<\/div>\n

\n\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Pivo’s beer menu.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

After freshening up
\nback at our digs, we strolled out to a microbrewery and taphouse not
\ntoo far away from were we were staying. This was Pivo Microbrewery,<\/i><\/b>
\nnestled close to the city’s divide. This is a bright and airy bar,
\nand has a mixed customer base of tourists and locals, but the love of
\nbeer is the the draw, along with knowledgeable staff and what looked
\nlike excellent food (although we didn’t eat here ourselves after our
\nhuge plate fulls of grub we received over the border!). There are
\nquite a few in-house brewed beers on tap and in bottles, and the
\nrange should suit most beer seekers. We started off with the 4x 0.2l
\nBeer Tasting selection. This consisted of Pivo’s Sitarenia Bavarian
\nWeissbier<\/b>, a malt driven brew with subtle stone fruit and bubble-gum
\nat the back, 4.5%, Blondie<\/b>, a 4.3% nicely balanced Bohemian Pilsner,
\na Czech Dark Lager, 4.2% Noir<\/b> which imparted a nice mix of dark
\nfruits tempered by light chocolate onto the palate and Hoppy<\/b>, a quite
\ncomplex American Pale Ale of 4.5% its fruit, floral notes and a
\ntingle of citrus at the back which forces through to dominate in the
\nfinish. After sharing our four beers, Jane carried on with another
\nBlondie<\/b> whilst I went for the last 2 beers on tap. Smoked Fish,<\/b> an
\nAmerican Smoked Ale<\/b> of 4.9%, certainly has plenty of smoke in the
\ntaste with sweet fruit and just slight strains of citrus adding to a
\nquite heavy mouthfeel, whereas Hopfish is totally opposite. This
\nSummer Ale is light, hoppy and has a good citrus buzz to it. A very
\nrefreshing beer of 4.1%. It was now time to move on, so we headed
\nback to Brewfellas<\/i><\/b>, which, by now, was quite busy. A G&T was
\nJane’s order, which was poured with a very generous spirit measure. I
\ndecided to go for a half of Tempest Marmalade on Rye<\/b>, a big robust
\ntasting DIPA of 9%, where sweet fruitiness is balanced its citrus and
\na lovely back bitterness. Last up was another half, this time
\nNorthern Monk\/Against The Grain Collaboration<\/b> Peanut Butter &
\nJelly Brown Ale, 10%. Wow! What a big punchy flavour. Jammy,malted
\ncaramel and biscuity sweetness on the outset, then the nuttiness of
\nthe peanut butter, and more fruit combine to lift the sweetly dry,
\nbut balanced, big finish. The high alcohol strength is not
\nnoticeable in the least. A surprisingly easy to drink beer,
\nespecially with that high ABV.<\/div>\n

\nWe had really enjoyed
\nour night out in Nicosia and the following day, as we sat outside
\nanother friendly and quaint cafe-bar, sampling more generous food
\nservings and local hospitality, we had already made our minds up to
\nreturn here on our next break in Cyprus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Brewfellas, Nicosia.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n

\nAnother highlight of
\nour visit was Sunday dinner, Cypriot style, taken at a traditional
\nTaverna up in the hills beyond the Asprokremmos Reservoir, overlooking Paphos. There is no menu, or set
\nmeal, you book in and sit back and, over a cool beer, wait. Then it
\narrives, almost meze style. You are not quite sure what will come
\nnext, but you will get fresh bread with mixed starters, plenty of
\nvegetables and huge roasted potatoes, piles of whatever meats are
\nbeing cooked, and followed up with a dessert. Last, but not least,
\nthe zivania spirit comes out! Marvellous, and good value for money
\ntoo.
Our 8 days in Sunny Cyprus seemed to be over so quickly. As we
\nreflected at the airport, awaiting our flight back to Manchester, it was clear that we would returning soon as this is
\nstill one of our favourite places to visit.<\/p>\n

\nCheers and keep it
