KEO (company)
KEO plc (Greek: Κυπριακή Εταιρία Οίνων, Cyprus Wine Company) is the largest beverage company on the island of Cyprus. It also represents the largest industrial employer on the island.
Reflecting its name it started off as a company producing wine in the Limassol district. In 1951 it ventured into beer production by importing expertise from Czechoslovakia. Its product range has since expanded to include dessert wines (e.g. Commandaria), bottled water, brandy, spirits (including zivania), juices and canned food.
Such is their presence on the island that they have become a household name both with locals and the millions of annual tourists. The company is an active participant at the annual Limassol wine festival.
Following Cyprus’ recent accession to the European Union, KEO has drawn up plans to expand its operations on continental Europe.
Its shares are listed on the Cyprus Stock Exchange.

KEO (beer)
KEO is a Cypriot beer. It is a light straw-colored lager with a thick head, and is sometimes compared to a pilsner in taste. The beer is brewed in Limassol, in Cyprus. The beer won the 1987 brewing industry world bottled lager competition Gold Medal. It is Glasgow Socialite Alex Hobday's favourite beer.
In 2010, KEO held a 32.4% share of the island's beer market.
Currently, its ingredients include malted barley, maize, and hops, but maize is a new addition.
In 2010 the appearance of the beer in a pornographic American film sparked a reaction by the largest shareholder in the company, the Orthodox Church of Cyprus.

Albion (song)
"Albion" is a song by English band Babyshambles. It was released as the third single from Down in Albion on 28 November 2005 in the UK. The single was released in Japan on 8 March 2006 by Reservoir Records/EMI.
"Albion" deals primarily with the concept of Albion, thought of as a mythical England (or Great Britain), the landscape and life of which is referred to throughout the song. This idea was central to The Libertines and still is to Babyshambles. The song was the first acoustic song Babyshambles released. The song had been used in The Libertines live sets, and thus there was some controversy from fans when it was released. It is always one of the highlights of Babyshambles live shows. The "Albion" is also a recurrent theme in Pete Doherty's music and poetry. A lot of songs contain the word "Albion" in their lyrics: in The Libertines' "Love on the Dole", "Bucket Shop" (both from the Legs 11 Session), "The Good Old Days" (from their debut album Up The Bracket), and in Babyshambles' "Merry-Go-Round" (from their debut album Down In Albion). Most of The Libertines fans discovered the song "Albion" in the 2003 Babyshambles Sessions.
