Our team

NISSOS success is truly based on its invaluable team.

NISSOS is its people. It is made up of those who had the courage to come and settle in Tinos changing their lives, and of those who were born on the island, without ever imagining that they would end up working in a brewery. It is made up of those who envision it and those who create it; those who carry it and those who promote it.
We may all come from different walks of life, with different experiences and different dreams, but we all share one common passion: we want to make the best beer in the world and be proud of it, in the country we love the most!
