Following the global trend in micro-brewing, a brand-new, brewery was created in Santorini: Ftelos Brewery, the House of the Blue Monkey beer. Ftelos brewery sits right in the heart of the island, in walking distance from the capital Fira awaiting all those interested in starting brewing their own beer at home or in advancing their brewing skills, to enjoy a unique experience on Santorini together with one of Ftelos’ brewers! Our premier Home-Brewer classes will introduce the attendants to the beer basics and will help them advancing their technical brewing knowledge and practical skills with a mixture of classroom theory and actual brewing on-site, allowing a two-way flow of information, hints and brewing tips. Each attendant will also be treated to a beer tasting session of 6 X200mls Ftelos fresh craft beers paired with selected bites and at the end of the masterclass, each one will receive a useful gift: a brewing kit containing all necessary ingredients, recipe and instructions in order to make his own beer at home by practicing what was taught during the masterclass!
