Octo Microbrewery (formerly Prime Microbrewery) is a small, family-run craft brewery in Sotira, Famagusta district, widely regarded as Cyprus's original microbrewery. Visitors join a guided tour led by the brewers themselves, learning about beer-making history and process while touring an on-site beer museum filled with brewing artifacts. Tastings typically include the Pilsner and Session IPA, sometimes paired with local touches like figs or watermelon, all served alongside striking bottle designs.

Hosts such as Tetiana, Taras and Michele are consistently praised for their warmth, storytelling and passion for the craft, turning a visit into an engaging afternoon rather than a simple tasting. With a 4.8 rating from 62 reviewers, it's a hidden gem for beer lovers exploring the Famagusta region. Note that visits are by appointment only, open Tuesday to Friday from 15:00 to 18:00, so booking a tour in advance is essential before you go.
