Leon Beer was the product of the first brewery in Cyprus founded in 1937.[1]
Production of Leon Beer was suspended in 1962 because the company acquired the license to produce Carlsberg locally (which began in 1969).[1]
In 2003, the brewery re-launched Leon based on the original recipe used in 1937.[1] It is an "All Malt" beer because only malt, hops and yeast are used in its production.[1]
Until the arrival of KEO in 1951, Leon was the only locally produced beer.[2]
