Feliz Kulpa, based in İzmir, Turkey, is an independent craft brewery born from the experimental journey of two engineer friends who began brewing at home through trial and error. The name, derived from the Latin “Felix Culpa” (“fortunate mistake”), reflects a philosophy that embraces coincidence and imperfection as part of the creative process. Its beers, such as the locally inspired Smyrn’ Ale, focus on balance and accessibility while maintaining a clear connection to İzmir’s identity. Through this approach, Feliz Kulpa represents a small-scale, idea-driven expression of Turkey’s emerging craft beer culture.
