3ο Greek Beer Festival

The 3rd Greek Beer Festival returns to Palio Amaxostasio OSY in Gazi, Athens, from 27 to 29 March 2027. Buses parked under this metal roof for a century. Now twenty-two Greek microbreweries pour here instead — skylights overhead, three thousand square metres of floor.

The festival carries the subtitle "Only Craft," meaning every brewery pouring here is Greek, independent, and small-batch. Previous editions drew makers from across the mainland and islands, filling the depot with hundreds of labels that most Athens drinkers have never tried side by side. The format is three evenings of craft beer, live music, and street food.

The crowd splits between people who know their session ales from their IPAs and groups who came for the night out and stay because the music holds. People circulate between taps, compare pours, and settle in once the headliner starts.

Each evening carries one headliner: Pyrini Laelapa and Thrax Panks open the weekend on 27 March with a hip-hop and rebetiko collision. Walkman the Band and Locomondo take Saturday the 28th. Nikos Zoidakis closes Sunday the 29th with live traditional music. Street food vendors line the perimeter.

If you want a curated tasting-room experience with flight cards and stemware, this is an industrial depot with volume to match. But if you want to try two dozen Greek craft breweries under one roof while a band plays loud enough to feel it, three nights in Gazi have that covered.

Palio Amaxostasio OSY is at Ermou 1 and Pireos in Gazi, a short walk from Kerameikos metro. Tickets available through more.com and at the door. Admission is open for children under twelve and visitors with mobility issues.

Twenty-two breweries, three nights, one retired bus depot — the taps close when the kegs run dry.
