MYTHOS BREWERY LTD., is the second largest brewery in Greece. The brewery that created 'Mythos' in 1997, the first authentically Greek beer, which has won the hearts of Greek and foreign consumers, and changed the market share in the Greek beer market. MYTHOS BREWERY LTD., was established in 1970 under the name Henninger Hellas S.A., and from 1992 has been a member of the BOUTARI GROUP. The production plant is found at Salonica and has 3 production lines with a capacity of 1.1 million hundred-litres of beer per year. The company also maintains distribution centres in Athens, Salonica and Crete, providing countrywide cover.

The 'birth' of 'Mythos' is the most significant landmark in the history of the company. In its very first year of being launched, Mythos managed to capture second place in its category and third place in overall beer sales, in a market that is both difficult to break into and very wary of new products. Mythos succeeded in overturning the market situation. In addition to Mythos beer, Mythos Brewery also produces and distributes, in Greece, the German lager Henninger , the German pilsner Kaiser and the Greek lager Golden, available at selected outlets in the local market. Furthermore, it imports and distributes world class brands, such as the Danish Carlsberg, Australia's Foster's and the Irish Guinness and Kilkenny.
