royal ionian lager

[sunfun]

Hi,can anyone tell us if the royal ionian is stronger than mythos,or is it about the same?Forewarned is forearmed!

[TONYNEW]

Its the same stength as Mythos i like a few bottles of it but prefer mythos another few to try are Mythos red,Alpha and Zorbas

[justphil]

As a very experienced p**s artist, I can comment with confidence. I adore Mythos, it is my favourite beer. Even Stella, my other woman, doesn't compare. 5% alcohol, and very distinctive taste. I had at least two every morning at Brouklis - ask Dimitris! Well, mornings for me started at midday anyway....

Royal Ionian is a much sweeter affair. Just as strong, 5% alcohol, but sophisticated and easier on the palate. Many ardent Mythos drinkers have converted to it (erja darling, you led the charge!!) but I remain a Mythos Addict (and an Arillas Addict)

Thanks guys!Hubby will be pleased to know that mythos is available in Arillas. We thought maybe they only sold royal ionian.Cheers!

Hi luvver. Go to Brouklis and sample the whole range. Jen swears by the dark real ale, left to degas and warm up for a few minutes until she can't wait any longer. But Dimitri's draught Mythos is for me. I bet it was Royal Ionian and he was having me on.... But I think I can tell the difference. Maybe not after 4 glasses....

Enjoy the beer, enjoy Arillas. Wish we were there...

sunfun luvver be there on 12th/13th September and try the wine festival. We shared an amazing enjoyable time with PaulC and Di, KevandBev, Blondegirl and Mike and riggers and luvver Sue. Dimitris said to me "Don't worry Phil, you're amongst friends."

The wine was bl***y gorgeous, and I shared one hellova lot of it. We've still got the jugs we bought for 3 euros. And enough wine to  drown in...

If hubby likes beer, Arillas will provide it. Mythos is mine, but it never seems to run out wherever you go....

erja darling, you led the charge!!) but I remain a Mythos Addict

I just ADORE Royal Ionian and yes, there has been an occasional charge to the bar when one's beer has finished

Royal Ionian is more mellow and gentle on the palate than my first love Mythos. It is less gassy so I can retain my demure female appearance even if a slight burb escapes  my lips by accident

[Lindypops]

Oh Erja, everyone has to burb! If we didn`t, our heads would fly off!

[justphil]

erja luvver we've kept robbie warm for you. If he doesn't get arrested like he was in July he has a big sloppy kiss for you (so he said....) Try Hannah's vodka frappe while you're there. Just ask for a PhilandJen special. Mind you that might turn out to be a Black Russian....

You know we're there with you in spirit. Preferably vodka....

And try all of the Royal Ionian beers - Dimitris will help. Give him our love, along with Litsa and gorgeous little Spiros. justwish we were there then too....

[TerryW]

The new Royal Ionian Real Ale is  stronger than the lager and pilsner. Its a lovely beer and goes really well with food as its not as gassy as the lagers.

Try it at Brouklis, but be forewarned Sunfun, it is stronger than other beers.

I wish I was there tonight  -   a very BIG SIGH!!!!!

[sunfun]

Thanks a lot Terry.Cheers!

[Timbo]

Oooh Terry, that looks tasty - think I will have to have a sample in 3 weeks time!
