The story

Athens Beer Festival in Athens

A craft-focused beer festival at Gazi's historic Palio Amaxostasio depot, organised with the Hellenic Association of Small Independent Brewers to spotlight small Greek microbreweries through tastings, food pairings, homebrewing workshops and live entertainment. Brewers typically pour their own beer at the stalls, giving visitors direct conversations about recipes rather than distributor-run tasting counters.

Craft beer in Greece is a recent phenomenon by European standards, and the Greek Beer Festival - Only Craft was built specifically to showcase that young, small-scale brewing scene rather than the imported big-name labels found at Athens's larger beer events.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

Organised in partnership with the Hellenic Association of Small Independent Brewers, the festival deliberately restricts its focus to small, independent Greek producers rather than the international and industrial labels found at Athens's larger beer events, giving visitors direct access to brewers pouring their own small-batch beer

02

The mystery stays covered

The venue itself, a nineteenth-century tram depot with exposed brick and steel left over from its industrial working life, sets a rougher, more workshop-like tone than a standard convention hall, and homebrewing workshops built into the programme give curious visitors a way to learn the craft process rather than only sample the results
