The Brewery
Born of the Cyclades, a child of the Aegean
We at NISSOS Brewery have a mission - and that is to create beers of exceptional sensory experience - complementary to the Greek and Mediterranean gastronomy - consistent quality and high antioxidant capacity. Beers that are better for you, better for the ecosystem and better for society at large.
Our vision is to be pioneers, set the example, and create value to benefit everyone around us!
OUR SOUL
NISSOS is an award winning, independent , family run and owned Greek island brewery
NISSOS in Greek means “island”. NISSOS was born in the Cyclades and is a child of the Aegean sea.
It is happiest in the company of friends enjoying the sun’s warm caress on long summer afternoons. But it is equally at home in cool shade, against a backdrop of dazzling white-washed houses under clear blue skies.
NISSOS is inspired by the works of men, the fruits of the earth, the olive trees, the exhilarating Cycladic light, the waves, the gentle breeze, the halcyon days and the fragrant spring. And when it speaks, it speaks of companionship, generosity, perseverance, innovation and hospitality.
NISSOS are all-natural artisanal beers with delicious, distinctive flavors. Lovingly made by real people driven by curiosity, imagination, creativity and a passion for quality organic beer, at an multi-awarded microbrewery on our beloved island home.
For us, NISSOS is much more than a range of internationally awarded beers. It reflects our way of life and our values and is a proud ambassador of the Cycladic – Greek island spirit.
OUR STORY
After all, it's all because of love…
For our founder, Alexandros Kouris, it all started with a strong desire to change his direction and path, both with his personal life and with his career.
A man with strong backgrounds in communication, marketing and strategic consulting with extensive experience in the food, beverage and tourism sectors, in Greece and abroad, he decided to make his dream come true when he discovered Tinos through the eyes of his partner in life, journalist Maya Tsoclis.
The Cyclades Microbrewery at Tinos Island was created from a zero-base by Alexandros and Maya in 2012, in the heart of the Greek economic crisis..
The crisis, instead of acting as a deterrent, truly pushed us into action.
From the very beginning, our goal was to create a series of top grade Cycladic, island beers, which will complement the authenticity of our local, Greek island gastronomy.
We are committed to operate with a primary focus on creating a broader value chain that benefits all the catering, hospitality, food and beverage businesses on our beloved islands and the entire society.
