That’s why when the very first bottles of “Vergina” went on sale in 1998, our mission was twofold: to craft one of the finest premium lagers money could buy – anywhere, at any price – while at the same time rectifying the glaring omission of which the legendary Zappa spoke. Much to our surprise, what started out as a small, committed band of beer lovers’ quest to bring back the lost art of beer-craft to the Thracian heartland soon blossomed into something much greater than we could have ever hoped for: our “Vergina” brand had not only evolved into the catalyst that would revolutionize beer culture in Greece, but also began attracting an ever growing number of devoted fans in the four corners of the globe - from the surf lodges of Australia to New York City’s finest restaurants. The history of beer brewing in the Hellenic world is well documented throughout antiquity – perhaps most famously in the 10th Century Byzantine codex entitled “Peri Zython Pioiseos” (“On the Crafting of Beers”) – furthermore, the ancient Greeks were well aware of the exceptional quality of the natural spring waters of Northern Greece, and archaeological finds confirm that Thrace was one of the very first locations in Europe where beer fermentation took place. ## What they brew - Pale Lager — 66% of the beers we track - Wheat Beer — 15% of the beers we track - Amber Lager — 9% of the beers we track - Other — 5% of the beers we track - Dark Lager — 3% of the beers we track - Strong Ale — 2% of the beers we track ## Find them - Address: Komotini, Greece - Coordinates: 41.1224394, 25.4065582 - Website: https://www.verginabeer.com/ ## Breweries nearby - [Xanthi's Solar Microbrewery](https://finding.beer/brewery/xanthis-solar-microbrewery-18207.md) — 2.40, Limited — Xanthi — 28 mi away - [Samothraki Microbrewery](https://finding.beer/brewery/samothraki-microbrewery-12439.md) — 3.47, Poor — Kamariotissa — 45 mi away - [Samothraki Microbrewery](https://finding.beer/brewery/samothraki-microbrewery-35151.md) — 3.47, Poor — Kamariotissa — 45 mi away - [Kavala's Microbrewery](https://finding.beer/brewery/kavalas-microbrewery-13875.md) — 3.45, Poor — Kavala — 55 mi away - [Macedonian Microbrewery](https://finding.beer/brewery/macedonian-microbrewery-13449.md) — 2.31, Limited — Drama — 66 mi away - [Jägerhof](https://finding.beer/brewery/jagerhof-12853.md) — 3.02, Limited — Plovdiv — 77 mi away - [Pelta Brewing](https://finding.beer/brewery/pelta-brewing-21737.md) — 2.94, Limited — Plovdiv, Plovdiv Province — 78 mi away - [Fabric](https://finding.beer/brewery/fabric-26606.md) — 2.80, Limited — Plovdiv, Plovdiv Province — 78 mi away ## Rankings this brewery appears in - [Best breweries in Greece](https://finding.beer/breweries/greece.md) --- Finding Beer scores breweries on the beer they brew rather than on the venue.
