Cheers! Our Guide to Craft Beer in Lisbon

Last Updated on December 12, 2025 by Emma Fajcz | Published: November 11, 2018

Craft beer in Lisbon was once a rare sight, but the city is finally catching up with the rest of the world. The two ubiquitous lagers, Sagres and Superbock, no longer have the monopoly, as there are now at least nine microbreweries, mostly in Marvila, Lisbon’s Beer District. Whether you’re a craft beer newbie or a brewer yourself, this guide has everything you need to know about Lisbon’s craft beer scene, including our favorite eight craft beers in Lisbon!

Lisbon’s top culinary treats always taste better with a cold craft beer.

1. Musa – A Revolutionary Beer

Bruno and Nuno left their jobs and decided to make their own beer, but neither of them knew how to make it. So, they hired a professional brewer, Nick Rosich, and Musa was born.

The beers are references to rock stars. There’s the Mick Lager, the Born in the IPA and the Red Zeppelin Ale. This is one of our favotrite Lisbon bars to try craft beer!

Musa Address: R. do Açúcar, 83 1950-006 Lisboa Portugal

2. Dois Corvos – A Beer from a Family-Run Brewery

Dois Corvos is a family-run brewery, founded by Susana and Scott in 2013. The name comes from the two crows (dois corvos) featured in Lisbon’s flag.

From session beers to aged stouts, there are 12 beers on tap at Dois Corvos. We recommend ordering the tasters tray so you can try a bit of everything. They also organize regular brewery tours.

3. Oitava Colina – Brewed in Lisbon’s Eighth Hill

The owners of Oitava Colina found their inspiration in Graça, Lisbon’s eighth hill. João Lobo and João Mendes started experimenting at home before opening the brewery. They now own a tap room and Lisbon’s first craft beer kiosk.

They began with three beers: Urraca, Zé Arnaldo, and Florinda. Urraca is the IPA of the family, Zé Arnaldo is the dark beer and Florinda is a blond beer. The options continue to increase, but the beer remains as authentic as ever.

4. LX Brewery – Lisbon’s First Craft Beer

LX Brewery is considered the first brand of Lisbon craft beer. The founder, Gonçalo Sant’Ana is on a mission to expand the brand worldwide.

They have several regular beers, but they also like to change it up, so expect to find some limited editions. The brewery opens as a bar on Fridays from 6 p.m. to midnight.

There are more than eight beers available, including a Witbier and a Coffee Pale Ale. The brewery is only open on Thursdays and Fridays from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m. If you’re curious about the process, you can attend their home-brewing workshops.

6. Gallas – From Brazil to Portugal

Gustavo Gallas started producing beer in Brazil, but soon found his way to Lisbon. Together with his partner Vinicius, they run the 21 Brewpub Gallas (21 is the area code to call Rio de Janeiro).

The beer is made according to old traditions and uses locally-sourced ingredients. Their main focus is on IPAs, but they also have a Stout and a Witbier.

Adam and Thomas are the faces behind Quimera, a brewpub located in an 18th-century tunnel in Alcântara.

They have 12 taps, featuring their own beer and other local craft beers. We recommend the Coffee Stout and the Single Hop.
