    I am looking for a store that sells this beer in New England (preferably Massachusetts) as I wanted to try it out. The brewery’s site is in Greek though here is a translation of its description:

    Chios Beer Wheat
    (Beer with Mastic)
    € 2.20

    A beer unique in the world, with a velvety texture, notes of bread and a pleasant touch of mastic that takes you to our beautiful island. Produced from wheat malt in combination with authentic Chios mastic, in small unique batches.

    If anyone has come across this beer please let me know, I will greatly appreciate it.

    Do they export to the US? Without a US licensed importer bringing it in with an approved label from the TTB, etc., no retailer in the US can legally sell a beer.

    As far as I know it is not imported. As someone who deals with Greek wine and beer, this has not been picked up by an importer. If it were to come to the states it would be old and most likely expensive. See Santorini brewing for an example.

    It doesn’t seem like it. I asked them if they export to my area and they told me to come to Chios to try the beer out myself.
