Mets owes its name to a beer brewery, opened by [[Bavaria|Bavarian]] brewer Karl Fuchs (the same man who founded Greek beer company [[Fix (beer)|Fix]]). Beer was, at the time, an unheard of beverage in Greece and was brought over due to the influence of Bavarian Greek king [[Otto of Greece]].<ref>{{cite web|title=Τι σχέση έχει η περιοχή του Μετς με τον Νίτσε και τον Κάρολο Φιξ που έφερε την μπύρα στην Ελλάδα;|url=http://www.mixanitouxronou.gr/ti-schesi-echi-i-periochi-tou-mets-me-ton-nitse-ke-ton-karolo-fix-pou-efere-tin-bira-stin-elladati-schesi-echi-periochi-tou-mets-ton-galloprosiko-polemo-tin-bira-fix-ke-ton-frintrich-nitse/|publisher=mixanitouxronou.gr|accessdate=30 March 2015}}</ref>
