\nMost forays
\nto the popular beach hotspots of Europe do not, usually, include a
\nvisit to a brewery producing \u201ctraditional\u201d real ales. Reasonable
\nlocal keg, bottles, cans and sparse offerings of craft beers are
\npossible to find, and in the hot, arid and sunny climate a cool local
\nbeer, usually lager in style, seems to suffice the quenching of the
\nthirst, although a repeat performance with your chosen tipple, in the
\ncooler, damper breezes of home after finding your favoured holiday
\nbeer in a local supermarket, almost always ends with disappointment.
\nSo, where is this blog posting heading? Well, back in September, we
\nflew off to our destination of choice, armed with fond memories of
\nprevious beery offerings, and a promise to visit a proper Real Ale
\nbrewery which has been highly rated by many since it opened only a
\nfew years back. So, here goes. A review of one of Europe’s most
\nbeautiful and enchanting islands. Cyprus. Also the home of
\nAphrodite’s Rock Brewing Company<\/b>.<\/p>\n

\nCyprus.
\nReputed to be the birthplace of Aphrodite, the Greek Goddess of love.
\nA beautiful Island in the Eastern Mediterranean. Hot, sunny and
\nunbroken blue skies greet the visitor. What a place to spend your
\nholidays. Cyprus is one of our favourite destinations, and this year
\nwe were able to re-kindle our love of the island, the first time for
\nabout 10 years. Previously, we had stayed on the east coast, around
\nProtaras, but this time the West coast beckoned, so we decided to try
\nPaphos, a city of archaeological interest, on our return. Following
\nour flight, we arrived rather late on a September Sunday at our base
\nfor the next two weeks, Tasmaria Apartments, on the main road through
\nthe small, but vibrant, city. The busyness of the road initially came
\nas a shock, but with the hotel sitting slightly back from the new
\ndual-carriageway, and our room being at the back, we can honestly say
\nwe didn’t get bothered by the traffic in the least. We were soon
\nbooked in, and then decided to stretch our legs, all of the 20 yards
\nto Tramps Bar<\/b><\/i>, right next door. This is a very friendly
\nbar, which always has a eclectic mix of locals, usually ex-pats, and
\ntourists. Alongside the KEO, Leon<\/b> and Carlsberg<\/b>, I did
\nespy a pump proclaiming Everard’s \u201cBeacon\u201d<\/b>, which I later
\nfound out was brewed under licence on the island. Hey!, it was
\nholiday time, around midnight and we were still basking in 20\u00b0 C of
\nwarmth, so we chose the Leon.<\/b> I will reflect on the more
\nusually served beers of Cyprus later, but I will admit that a cold
\nLeon <\/b>on a warm night, after quite a few hours travelling via
\ncar, plane and coach, was more than welcome. Over the next couple of
\ndays, many a bar in Paphos was discovered (there are plenty, and they
\nare not hiding) and the KEO<\/b> and Leon<\/b> were partaken of.
\nI did have the phone number of a friend, an ex work colleague of
\nmine, Geordie, who had retired to these parts a couple of years back,
\nand having promised to have a drink or two with him if we were ever
\nto re-visit Cyprus, I gave him a quick text on the Wednesday evening.
\nThe plan was for Jane to do some retail therapy on Saturday afternoon
\nat the local Mall, whilst I would meet up with Geordie, over the
\nfootball, sink a few beers and have a good old yarn about what we had
\nboth been up to over the last biennial period. This is were I had
\nunderestimated the generosity and friendship of my old work mate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

\n\u201cWhere are
\nyou two stayin’, Fozzy?\u201d was the reply to my opening gambit of
\nfootball and drinks.<\/p>\n

\n\u201cTasmaria\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\u201cCan’t
\nmake it on Saturday. Charity raft race for the local Animal Welfare
\nShelter (PAWS). I’ll pick you and Jane up tomorrow, and give you the
\nGrand Tour……\u201d. And so it was. The very next day, Geordie, his
\nlovely wife, Lynne, and Dexter, the dog, pulled up outside our hotel
\nat the start of one of the most wonderful holiday experiences we have
\never had. We visited bars nestled in places even the locals would
\nneed reminding of, with views which would bring a tear to a glass eye
\nthey were so beautiful. Churches, beauty spots, secluded beaches and
\neven shipwrecks, among other things, were shown, and lapped up
\ngratefully by us. The tour was more than Grand, it was Magnificent.
\nAll in all we enjoyed their company for the best part of 7 days of
\nour 14 on the island, and never tired of it once. We cannot thank
\nthem enough, and were very humbled at their insistence to \u201cstay
\nover\u201d for a couple of nights at their homestead in Mandria, which
\nallowed us to explore so much more of this area. Sunday, after a trip
\naround Pissouri (Aphrodite’s Rock, and all) and the areas nearby, saw
\nus eat at the brilliantly situated Bonamare. With a great view of the
\nlocal airport, and one of the best positions for dramatic sunsets in
\nthe area, it is a great bar to visit. That evening, after some of the
\nlargest food portions we have both ever experienced at a pub, and
\nwashed down, back at Mandria, with a bottle, and a bit of a quite
\nreasonable brandy ( described as \u201c9 Euros a litre bottle from the
\nBulgarian shop. Asda price!\u201d), Geordie kindly insisted to pick us
\nup and run us out to the Aphrodite’s Rock <\/b>Brewery,<\/b>
\nin Tsada, the following Tuesday. What a Gent! It is not the easiest
\nplace to reach via public transport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Up the Creek with a
Paddle<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

\nSo, moving
\non to Tuesday, we were picked up and, after a tour of the area around
\nTsada, we visited Minthis Hills Golf Club, which contains a 12th<\/sup>
\nCentury monastery on the course. Next stop was the much awaited visit
\nto Aphrodite’s Rock Brewing Company<\/b>. On arriving, we were
\nquite surprised at how busy this little place can be. We were soon
\nshown to a table though, and settled down to sample the selection of
\nreal ales on offer. The choices are quite good, to be fair. There are
\nreal ales, ciders, wines and soft drinks all available, with brewery
\ntours, drink and pizza combos, Sunday lunch deals, drinks, and food
\nseparately. We decided to taste the wares, and just have a spot of
\nlunch alongside. To enable us to taste the full range on offer, I
\ndecided on a paddle of 5 of the beers on offer, served in 200ml
\nglasses, whilst the other beers were sampled between us as pints. Our
\nfindings were as follows.<\/p>\n

\nYorkshire
\nRose<\/b>. 3.8%<\/p>\n

\nWhat a great
\nYorkshire Bitter styled beer this is. It is smooth, full bodied and
\nhas a slight floral hint to it. A touch of spice is also there, after
\nthe initial sweet, caramel and toffee opening. It would be as much at
\nhome in The Pennines as it is in the Mediterranean sunshine.<\/p>\n

\nLian
\nShee<\/b>. 4.5%<\/p>\n

\nI first
\nencountered this brew in its bottled form, in the Harbour area of
\nPaphos, and as much as I enjoyed it then, I liked the cask version a
\nlot more. It is a creamy Irish Red Ale, with a big boost of malt and
\ncaramel at the start. There is a nice controlled bitterness towards
\nthe end. A really nice beer indeed.<\/p>\n

\nExtra
\nSpecial Bitter<\/b>. 5%<\/p>\n

\nThis is
\nquite like a Brown Ale, but not quite as sweet. It is driven by a
\nmalty sweetness, but well balanced and tempered by an earthy back
\ntaste.<\/p>\n

\nOktoberfest<\/b>.
\n4.8%<\/p>\n

\nGerman by
\ndesign, but undeniably a beer crafted for British tastes. Again, a
\nmalt sweetness leads, but the hoppy bitterness lurks in the
\nbackground, waiting to help in the final balance of this nice beer.
\nThere is also a slight, but noticeable, fruitiness, with just a hint
\nof plums on the palate.<\/p>\n

\nWest
\nCoast IPA<\/b>. 6%<\/p>\n

\nThis is a
\ngood IPA. It isn’t as punchy and \u201cin your face\u201d as some of the
\nbeers of this style, but the well hopped flavour is there. Just
\ngiving you a nudge towards the end of the initial mouthful. It is
\nrounded in the main, but that telltale bitterness really allows this
\nbeer to reach new heights.<\/p>\n

\nLondon
\nPorter<\/b>. 4.8%<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
The paddle beer today<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

\nI had heard
\ngood reports of this one, and was not disappointed. The beer sat in
\nthe glass rather proudly, with a fine and dandy creamy white head
\natop. Now, I have had drinks before that have been good looking in
\nthe glass, but have failed in the flesh, so to speak, but not this
\none. The aroma is of chocolate and roast malt and the choco-malt
\ntheme carries through into the main taste, with liquorice and a hint
\nof spice sitting alongside these very nicely. Carob is listed as one
\nof the ingredients, and possibly adds to the chocolate vein, dark
\niridescent colour and smooth mouth feel. Make no mistake, this is a
\ngreat London Porter.<\/p>\n

\nRock
\nPremium<\/b>. 4.8%<\/p>\n

\nA Bavarian
\nstyled craft lager, with a bready aroma and quite a light, subtle
\ntaste. There is a quite floral aftertaste, and the bitterness is not
\ntoo prominent. A good thirst quencher.<\/p>\n

\nSorrella
\nFine Traditional Cider<\/b>. 4.2%<\/p>\n

\nOne of four
\nbottled ciders on offer from the brewer, and quite a reasonable
\ntasting one too. I am no expert but T’other ‘arf definitely enjoyed
\nit, as the empty glass and satisfied smile proved.<\/p>\n

\nWhat an
\nexcellent afternoon. Add to this some nicely prepared food and a
\nwonderful view of the surrounding countryside, with dramatic hills
\ndrenched in sunshine, and I struggle to believe there is a better
\nplace to be to have a piss-up in a brewery!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Some of the
Refreshments for the balcony.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

\nWhat of the
\nother beers available on Cyprus? As I have mentioned, KEO<\/b> and
\nLeon<\/b> are the local mainstream beers, with a pump or fridge
\nfull at most places. We did stumble upon a few other beers in the
\nlocal Lidl, but these were only imports, although, probably available
\nas staples. I have included these in my reviews as well.<\/p>\n

\nKEO Pale
\nLager<\/b> 4.5%<\/p>\n

\nThe most
\npopular beer on the island, and has earned the odd award along the
\nway. It was first brewed, in Limassol, back in the 1950’s. It is
\nlight, with sweet malt shining through before a very slight
\nbitterness from the hops. The finish is dry, with floral hints on the
\npalate. To be fair, it is a quite refreshing and reasonable lager,
\nand easy drinking. I don’t mind it. It was usually my drink during
\nthe heat of the day.<\/p>\n

\nKEO
\nLight<\/b>. 3.5%<\/p>\n

\nThe name
\nsums it up really, it is the same as the original, but a lesser ABV
\nvalue, a touch thinner in taste and a touch less carbonation. Nothing
\nspecial, but not a horrid brew either.<\/p>\n

\nLeon All
\nMalt Beer<\/b>. 4.5%<\/p>\n

\nI remember
\ndrinking this on my first visit to Cyprus, and found it a touch
\ndarker and heavier in taste than I found this time. It was first
\nbrewed in1937, but the company, Photos Photiades Breweries, suspended
\nproduction in 1962, after it acquired the licence to brew Carlsberg
\nhere. It was brought back in 2003, but I believe a slight tinkering
\nof the recipe has since taken place. It has a smooth sweet malted
\nflavour throughout, and a hint of grass in the after taste. Medium
\nbitterness, and carbonation is not heavy.\n<\/p>\n

\nErmis
\nArgus Hellenic Lager<\/b> 5%<\/p>\n

\nI found this
\nin Lidl. It is light, with slight fruit aroma, and the taste is
\nreasonably fresh. Quite highly carbonated, and a metallic backtaste
\nat the finish.<\/p>\n

\nErmis
\nGold Hellenic Lager<\/b> 5%<\/p>\n

\nThis was
\nvery much the same as Argus, but a much sweeter taste towards the
\nfinish. They are not classics, by any means, but at only a few cents
\nfor a can, they are worth a punt to keep one hydrated in the sun!<\/p>\n

\nPerlenbacher
\nRadler (Cloudy<\/b>) 2.5%<\/p>\n

\nRefreshing,
\nbut not anything more than a very lemonade driven shandy. Not a lot
\nmore to say, really.<\/p>\n

\nPerlenbacher
\nWeissbier. <\/b>5%<\/p>\n

\nThis was not
\nso bad, really. It starts out with yeast and fruit on the nose, and
\nleads onwards, with more fruit, some herb hints and nice yeast
\nesters. There is a smooth creaminess in the mouth, and only a light
\ncarbonation. I am no expert when it comes to this style, but I did
\nenjoy it.<\/p>\n

\nKamenitza
\nLager. <\/b>4.4%<\/p>\n

\nA bottle from the aforementioned Bulgarian shop in Paphos, this was a
\nquite malty brew, with a astringent bitterness in the finish. The
\naftertaste is a little sour. I suppose \u201cacquired taste\u201d sums this
\none up.<\/p>\n

\nThe Old
\nFishing Shack Ale and Cider House.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
“Gone Fishin'”<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

<\/b><\/h3>\n

\nThere are a myriad of pubs, bars and restaurants in, and around,
\nPaphos. We found our way around quite a few. You have the Tomb of the
\nKings’ Road, with, Thomas’s Jungle Tramps, Yiamas, The Green
\nCorner,<\/b><\/i> to name but a few, and the web of streets leading
\noff, and the Old Paphos Town area, a bus ride or energetic walk away
\nwith its selections, then on to the famous Bar Street, just off from
\nthe Harbour is, well, full of bars. Most around here are much of a
\nmuchness, but if that’s your gig, who am I to say otherwise? The
\nHarbour has quite a few more up market establishments, and a nicer
\nambience, but no matter where you wander, you will find a refeshment
\nstation to suit your needs. One place that is worth digging out is
\nThe Old Fishing Shack Ale and Cider House<\/b><\/i>, tucked just
\naway from Bar Street. The owner has a terrific knowledge of his
\nwares, and the selection of beers here is vast. There are beers from
\nall over the World, and many rare ones and vintage Ales too. It is
\nnot a cheap place to drink, but a very enjoyable, and interesting
\ndiversion. You will be amazed at the collection.Off sales as well as
\nbar sales. It certainly is not a cheap night out, though, with almost
\nall the beers having to be imported, but carefully reading the \u201cmenu\u201d
\ncan avoid you choosing a 100 euros plus vintage beer by mistake. We
\nhad four different beers in here, firstly I had a Belhaven
\nScottish Oat Stout, <\/b>a lovely heavy stout of 7%, which had a nice
\nsweetness that combines well with coffee and the bitterness of dark
\nchocolate, Jane opted for Greene King St Edmunds Golden Beer,<\/b>
\n4.2%. This is a straightforward tasting beer. No complexity at all.
\nThere is a slightly sweet malt flavour to start, then a pronounced
\nfull stop of dry bitterness at the end. We followed these with a
\nBarock Dunkel<\/b>, courtesy of Weltenburger Kloster<\/b>, a 4.7%
\ndark brew with a rich smooth fruity taste that has a fine vein of
\nspiciness to it, and a nicely bitter-sweet finish, and a Fucking
\nHell.<\/b> This beer comes from the Austrian village of Fucking, and,
\nto be fair, is a bog standard lager. It is 4.7% and light, hoppy but,
\nbesides the name, not that memorable. It looks good in a photo
\nthough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Brandy Sour and Ouzo
Special.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

\nOuzo, Brandy, Zivannia,<\/b> and the various
\ncocktails (the best Brandy Sour<\/b> was at La Boite 67<\/b><\/i>,
\nwhilst the best Ouzo Special<\/b> was in the Rose Pub,<\/b><\/i>
\nboth in the Harbour area) that just about covers our trip to Paphos.
\nWe enjoyed it immensly, and have vowed to return soon. We managed to
\nget to a Mediterranean real ale brewery, and a beer shop-come-tavern
\n, soak up loads of sun, ate like hogs and enjoyed Lynne and Geordie’s
\nrich hospitality. What’s not to like. As they say on the Island of
\nCyprus \u201cYiamas\u201d.<\/p>\n

Well, besides the <\/p>\n

\nOh, that Everard’s Beacon, <\/b>brewed here under licence. It is
\nthe smooth version, and quality does vary, but find a bar where it is
\npopular and it does make rather a change from the lager.<\/p>\n

\nCheers
\nand keep it \u201cReal\u201d,<\/b><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
