CORFU BEER & 5 BREWERIES

Oct 8th-12th 2014 Corfu and 5 breweries will get together to brew some really special beers. The local tavernas will be coming up with some unusual take on regional dishes to perfectly compliment the various beers. Together with some traditional dishes from UK….a gastronomic feast!!

Every night we are putting on local Greek dancing as well as dancers and music from England / Ireland / Scotland and Wales.
Later each and every night we will have a major headline band for your entertainment.
There will be four different pubs serving their own special beer as well as our Corfu beers and wines. Sit and enjoy tasting the beers while sampling the various specially prepared foods.
