Kovabeer, Cyprus — please enjoy responsibly.
Cyprus brewed, from Troodos water to your table.
Kovabeer is a Cypriot brewery at Ergates working with island barley, mountain spring water and a cold cellar. Eight beers, brewed slowly, poured cold across Cyprus.

A lager built for forty degrees of Cypriot summer.
Crisp, low in bitterness, brewed to be drunk cold by the sea — the beer our tavernas asked us for.

About Kovabeer
Independent, Cyprus-owned, brewing at Ergates since 2016.
We started with two fermenters behind a carpentry workshop in Nicosia old town. Today we brew on spring water piped down from the Troodos range, malt grown on the Mesaoria plain, and a house lager yeast we have kept alive for nine years. Everything is brewed, conditioned and kegged on the island — nothing is contract-brewed abroad.

Responsibility
Brewing on an island that cannot waste water.
Cyprus is the driest country in the European Union. Every litre we brew is measured, and every litre we can return is treated and returned. Our 2030 plan covers water, packaging, solar and how we ask people to drink our beer.

What They Say
Poured Across The Island
From beach bars in Ayia Napa to village tavernas in the Troodos foothills — the people who pour Kovabeer tell it better than we can.
Become A StockistWe swapped every imported lager on the taps for Kova and the regulars never asked for the old one back. It travels the twenty kilometres from the brewery and still tastes fresh.
Petros Stylianou
Taverna To Kyma, Paphos
The Carob Stout sells out every winter before we can order a second pallet. Nothing else on the island tastes like the place it comes from.
Maria Christodoulou
Bar Manager, Nicosia
Deliveries arrive cold, on the day promised, and someone from the brewery actually answers the phone. That is rarer than good beer.

Everything People Ask Us
Nicosia, Limassol, Larnaca, Paphos and the Famagusta coast.
Refrigerated vans run twice a week to every district. Trade orders placed before Monday noon arrive by Wednesday; private cases ship within three working days anywhere on the island.
By appointment only — the site sits inside a restricted zone.
The brewhouse sits on a fenced corner plot at the far end of the Ergates Industrial Estate, off the Nicosia–Troodos road — a closed perimeter with no passing public, so entry is by booked appointment with ID left at the security gatehouse. Saturday tours run at 11:00 for groups of six to twelve.
Unpasteurised beer likes the cold.
Keep bottles and kegs between 4 and 8 degrees and drink the lagers within four months of the packaging date on the neck. Barrel-aged releases will keep improving for two years in a dark cellar.
Yes — Kova Zero, 0.3%.
Brewed with the same house yeast and stopped cold before fermentation finishes, so it keeps the malt body instead of tasting of wort. Available in bottle from June to September.
