This is one of our favourite places to visit each time we come back to Cyprus.Not only are they consistently good with their ales (and ciders), there is always a very friendly atmosphere and you be sure to end up chatting to both expats and tourists. Would definitely recommend - though be prepared that its so comfortable there that the afternoon soon disappears! :)Will be back again soon...
Called in last week, a brew day so unable to go round the brewery, not a problem.Great little brewery run by nice Yorkshire folk.Tried 5 of the brews and found we liked every one, which was a great surprise considering that not many breweries in England have that effect on us. The West Coast IPA was a particularly good beer and reminded us of Thornbridge Jaipur.Shame we couldn't spend more time there.Congratulations and keep up the great work.
The Aphrodite's Rock Brewery tour and drink are a must for anyone visiting the Paphos area of Cyprus. We holiday in Cyprus three times a year and visit the Brewery each time. There is always a great welcome and even greater Beer.A must do for anyone visiting Cyprus.
We have visited this family-run brewery several times since they opened and it just gets better and better! We have taken friends and relatives and they have all really enjoyed their visits. As others have said, their secret is not just quality brewed original ales and ciders and a wonderful peaceful location, it's the wonderful welcome you receive each time. It's also heartwarming to hear the story of how they have got to where they are and their exciting plans for the future. This place is unique and a gem....don't miss it when you're in Cyprus, particularly the Paphos region!
We were married in Cyprus during the summer and were fortunate enough to have 30 of our close friends and family join us. Amongst the party were some seasoned ale drinkers and we were delighted when we stumbled across the Aphrodite Rock Brewery who were able to provide is with a selection of bottled beers for our reception dinner and party. Being a fan of blonde ales and American style, well hopped IPA we ordered Midas Gold and the West Coast IPA. We were not disappointed and the beers went down a storm with us and our guests. An absolute pleasure to deal with and an outstanding product. What a relief to find this oasis in an otherwise baron land of beer production!
On a wet Wednesday afternoon in normally sunny Cyprus, the Aphrodite Brewery provided a little Yorkshire oasis for the real ale lover. I recommend the tasting paddle with five thirds of ale which enables you to choose a favourite if you want to progress to the full pint. There is also bottled conditioned ale and bottled cider (sterilised) on sale. I recommend the pear and apple cider which was served on ice. I don't usually have ice in my cider, but this was surprisingly good. The lunch menu is good honest pub grub, so don't expect anything too fancy, but what you get is good food cooked on the premises. The bus from Paphos to Polis runs along the top road about half a kilometre from the brewery, but you might find it easier to get a taxi, especially if you don't have a "designated driver". Taxi fares are around the twenty euro mark from Paphos. The brewery also runs a short tour, interesting if you want to see how the ale is made, or indeed how a micro brewery pitched up hundreds of miles from home.
we were on our way home from shopping in Paphos, and decided to stop off at the brewery. We had not been inside the new bar before but it was lovely and warm inside. My husband had his usual Yorkshire Rose and we both had a bowl of chips each, which were gorgeous. Hoping to be able to pop in again next week.
Looked forward to visiting this Little Gem since our friend told us all about it several months ago. We received a warm welcome from Melanie, who was very knowledgable about all aspects of the brewery. Being a cider drinker I opted for a pint of traditional apple & at 6% it certainly packs a punch but tastes mighty fine. The hubby opted for a "paddle sampler" which included his choice of 5 beers, his favourite being The Yorkshire Rose & coming from a Lancashire man that is praise indeed . We came away with several bottles to try at our leisure. Well worth a visit, but don't forget to have a designated driver as these beers / ciders leave you wanting more. Till the next time ..... Cheers
Took my son and his partner for a visit, wonderful, tried the ciders, and a few beers !! all very good. The outside seating in stunning countryside, we didnt eat but the food looked amazing,andvery reasonably priced,.. It is a Gem that is too good to miss.. The family are so helpful, and make every effort to make your visit a total pleasure, cant recommend it enough
This is a must visit for real ale and cider lovers alike whilst on holiday on this magical island ! The brewery itself is just delightful and the tour around it was very interesting...The beers that available to drink in or take away plus there are some snacks on sale!!Ales such as West Coast,London Porter,Yorkshire Rose and Marzen (which featured in the 2014 Oktoberfest) are just some that will get your taste buds tingling !!The ciders are the only ones actually brewed on the island and once again are just FAB !Good luck Aphrodite's Rock Brewery you deserve it !!!!Kind regards Rick n Jen
