Limassol to hold its first beer festival

 

The first annual Limassol Beer Festival is taking place from Friday to Sunday this weekend.

The private initiative is being supported by the municipality Mayor Andreas Christou said.

The event will include almost all local producers and importers. Speaking on Monday, Christou said that he hoped the public would respond to the initiative.

He said although Limassol was better known for its annual wine festival, the island’s well known and – for years – only brewery was established in the coastal town.

The festival will be inaugurated on Friday in the presence of Cyprus Girls Scouts’ cheerleading group, while more cultural events will be taking place over the two days.

 

The Cyprus Mail is the only English-language daily newspaper published in Cyprus. It was established in 1945 and today, with its popular and widely-read website, the Cyprus Mail is among the most trusted news sites in Cyprus. The newspaper is not affiliated with any political parties and has always striven to maintain its independence. Over the past 70-plus years, the Cyprus Mail, with a small dedicated team, has covered momentous events in Cyprus’ modern history, chronicling the last gasps of British colonial rule, Cyprus’ truncated independence, the coup and Turkish invasion, and the decades of negotiations to stitch the divided island back together, plus a myriad of scandals, murders, and human interests stories that capture the island and its -people. Observers describe it as politically conservative.
