Best Craft Breweries in Lisbon, 2026

One of Lisbon's first craft breweries and still one of its best. Oitava Colina set the standard for consistent, well-made Portuguese craft beer. Their Urraca American IPA has become a genuine classic of the local scene. If you want to understand where Lisbon craft beer came from, start here.

Hopsin are one of the most creative breweries in Portugal right now. Their Hazy IPAs are some of the best in the country: approachable, well-balanced, and always interesting. We like them enough that we recently collaborated with them on our own Argentinian Hazy IPA, just launched this week.

LETRA are the reference point for classic styles done properly in Portugal. Their Red Ale and Oatmeal Stout are benchmarks. The kind of beers that show you don't need to be experimental to be excellent. A staple on our taps for good reason.

Rúnica take risks and they pay off. Their Red IPA and Golden Stout are exactly the kind of beers that make craft beer interesting. Unexpected combinations that actually work. If you like breweries that push boundaries without losing quality, Rúnica is your pick.

Dois Corvos are a machine. Their release pace is relentless and the quality stays high, which is no easy feat. If you're a regular at Queen Ale you'll know their name well because something from Dois Corvos is almost always on our rotating taps. One of the most dynamic breweries in the country.

Our pick for the most impressive brewery of 2025. Fermentage combine the discipline of Czech classic styles with the creativity of modern craft brewing, a rare combination that produces beers of real depth and character. Watch this space.

Founded in 2013 in Ericeira and twice named Portugal's Best Brewery by RateBeer, Mean Sardine have built their reputation on a solid, well-executed core range. Their Ericeira Sunset Dry Hopped Blonde Ale is a classic: light, refreshing, and a perfect introduction to Portuguese craft beer for anyone new to the scene.

Barona sit in an interesting middle ground. Classic enough to please traditionalists, modern enough to keep things interesting. Their APA and West Coast IPA are both excellent examples of American-influenced styles done with a Portuguese sensibility. Consistently good.

If you're into sours and goses, RIMA are in a class of their own in Portugal. The best in the country at what they do: complex, well-balanced, and endlessly drinkable. If you've never tried a Portuguese sour, RIMA is where you start.
