Surely thats wrong.
For a beer to be called Chimaera it would have to be at least 12% ABV?

And the label would have to be BLUE!!!!!

That is actually the correct spelling. I have been to the very place the legend is supposed to have taken place, in Turkey, and te sign is spelt the same as the beer.

Nah, the correct spelling is in classical Greek it should be soemthing like Χιμαιρα and a better transliteration would be Khimaira. Chimaera is more a sort of latinised spelling, which is how we usually spell classical Greek names.

Oops it seems you can paste Greek letters into the message box but they don't show up on the board. Anyway it was chi-iota-mu-alpha-iota-rho-alpha for any classicists, scientists and mathematicians out there

Indeed, they had both versions showing. Although it might have been Kimera. Must dig out the photo's.
