I think I tried the Red and the Dark Ale last year, in Agios Georgios, but I'd really like to try the Weisse...

 Personally dont think they are that special, and a bit overpriced..but probably a bit biast as i live in the land of Belgian beer..

@rilo57 I'm a fan of Belgian beer myself, La Chouffe, Chimay, Karmeliet and of course not forgetting San Stefanus http://www.st-stefanus.com/ (http://www.st-stefanus.com/) (surely that last one should be stocked in San Stefanos)  :)

@johny rebel - Will give it a go

Rilo, have you found "Dark Sister"by the Brussels Beer Project, or any of the beers by the Viven Brewery?

As far as the Ionian Brewery goes by favourite is probably the Contessa IPA. But why they don't add a really hoppy, West Coast style IPA is beyond me.

Dark sister dosent ring a bell cambridge.and regards the brewery not heard of it..but there are so many small independant brewerys around ans so many only available locally difficult to track them down..would be a good chalange to sample them all though...but would need a huge glass cabinet as each beer has its individual glass and at over 1100 beers to choose ....yammas...

@rilo57 Yes, right beer with the right glass makes all the difference.  I have to make do with 4, Trappistes Rochefort, Chimay, Chouffe and Leffe.  Examples of the first 3 follow, but trying to find somewhere safe to store them is a challenge:
