OUR BEERS

The blue monkeys painted on the walls of Akrotiri on the Greek island of Santorini are some of the many animals found in the frescoes of this 3.600-year-old city. Historians have studied the murals for decades since they were unearthed in the 1960s and 1970s on the famous Greek island. The most recent finding is the realization that the Bronze Age world was much more globalized than previously thought.

The images of these exotic and playful animals were the source of our inspiration for our new beer: the Blue Monkey beer.

As passionate brewers, we know that beer is widely considered to be the most complex fermented beverage in the world. It is both an expression of artistry and a measure of scientific prowess, both to be mastered if one seeks to brew a world-class beer.

The fundamentals of beer production include malting, milling, mashing, lautering, boiling, fermenting, conditioning, filtering, and packaging. We follow our process with attention to the finest detail, using a state-of-the-art brewing production system.  
 

For all of us at FTELOS Brewery, how we deal with our facility's waste will always be an important consideration, especially regarding the waste created by our beer production. Beer waste refers to the byproducts of the beer making process (i.e. spent grains). As part of our company's stance on sustainability, all solid residues left over from grain processing (extraction of most sugars, proteins and nutrients) are turned into high-value carbon materials.

At FTELOS Brewery we have the aspiration to create unique beer and food pairings. Flavours, intensities, harmonies, contrast and complement, cleansing, temperature, setting, season, all play a critical part in our mission to deliver the perfect experience.

For us, food and beer matching is a quest best approached with an open mind, in order to elevate it to a one-of-a-kind gastronomic indulgence.
