Solo  Brewery

Originated from Crete, Solo is not just any beer but a craft beer with soul. Anthropocentric, proud & uncompromising by nature, obsessed with the idea that good beer is a human right, Solo is addressed to all those who desire a great beer. Furthermore, rather than brewing for the sake of profit, Solo creates & experiments while calling beer lovers and enthusiasts for interaction with the belief that much more than about beer, craft beer is about people. We are honored when our beers enjoy your appreciation but our real joy comes through human contact, interaction and sharing. Therefore, our “ house ” is open to all of you who share the same spirit. Our brewery is located at the region of Kalithea in Heraklion’s industrial zone, where, much more than a beer production unit, we have created a space to share our love for craft beer and its culture through events, tastings, workshops, guided tours and tailor made experiences. You are all welcome !

We called at the Solo Brewery in September 2020. It is deep in an industrial area, but still easy to find. It brews six regular beers and some specials - we sampled seven brews. The sales guy Vasilis looked after us throughout - he even ordered some food / cold cuts which were brought to us. We loved the beers, especially the IPAs. Vasilis gave us a short tour of the brewery / it is only quite small. We bought two boxes of take away beers for later. Highly recommended for beer lovers!

Aurelie is the most amazing, knowledgeable host - showing you around their compact microbrewery, she explains the beer making process and tells you the stories behind each of their beers. Topped off with a tasting, this is such a fantastic tour from a fabulous family. Book through Airbnb for only €12 per person!
