Lisbon’s most central option for an overload of craft beer.

In a tucked-away corner of a corner in Alfama, a Polish-Egyptian couple sells a massive variety of beers from Portugal and around the world. They also serve pizza, because you need something to eat. You can get the well-known tasting trays with a range of samples, some on tap, and countless options from bottles and cans — supposedly 400 varieties. Since no locals live in the area, few locals visit. Those who do know what they’re there for: unique beer and a lot of fun with new people.
