Beer is the cool refreshment of warm seasons, the frothy companion of heartfelt friendships, and the perfect accompaniment to good conversation.
Although the history of beer in our country is commonly believed to have begun in 1890, 45 years earlier, Hulda Clara Prokopp, a member of a Levantine family, was already bottling her handcrafted beer in porcelain bottles in Punta, İzmir, offering it to the city’s lively social scene.
Clara Prokopp’s story reveals how a courageous and independent woman of İzmir helped reshape the city’s social and cultural life. The echoes of laughter in Punta’s streets, warm conversations among friends, shared meals, and beers crafted by hand may well have become the foundation of what defines today’s Alsancak.
Inspired by Clara’s passion and the courage she left behind, we aspire to carry her legacy from yesterday into tomorrow through the Madame Prokopp™ brand, right here in the historic neighborhood of Punta, İzmir.
With great enthusiasm, we celebrate the distinctive character of locally brewed beers from across Türkiye by pairing them with thoughtfully curated menus. Accompanied by great music, attentive service, and genuine hospitality, we are once again preparing to celebrate in a historic İzmir house—just as it was in 1845.
