I was directed by the link http://tinyurl.com/66klnyh #cyprus #boozers in another post to the Keo site.

here at http://www.keogroup.com/beer/# the brewery claims:

The KEO Brewery was the first to be built on the island. The production of KEO Beer started early in 1951. The original brewery had a small production capacity of about 15,000 hectolitres annually.

Surely that is not correct?

I understand the first brewery was in fact built in 1937 by the company then called Chr. Platanis and Co Ltd.who produced LEON beer, which firm later became Photos Photiades Ltd and in 1967got the first licence to brew Carlsberg outside of Denmark. At that point they abandoned making Leon until about 2003.

On what basis therefore does Keo claim to be the first brewery in Cyprus?

Didnt you know that the Church has the right to re-write history?
