A Belgian-style wheat beer made on the Greek island of Paros, called 56 Isles Aegean Wit has been voted among the world’s top six great tasting beers, winning an unprecedented three stars in the 2018 Great Taste Awards, ANA reports. Great Taste, held by the Guild of Fine Food, is the acknowledged benchmark for fine food and drink. It has been described as the ‘Oscars’ of the food world and the ”epicurean equivalent of the Booker prize”. The same microbrewery that makes 56 Isles Aegean Wit also clinched two stars for its blonde Pilsner – the first-ever Greek beer to win a star in the Great Taste awards in 2017 – and one star for its 56 Isles session IPA, appearing for the first year. The Paros Microbrewery was set up on the Aegean island in 2014 by start-uppers Marinos Alexandrou and Nikolas Pavlakis, representing one of the biggest light industry investments made in the Cyclades archipelago in recent years.
