Portugeuse Beer, whats a good one ?
 

Anyone help with a favourite beer in Lisbon, draught or bottled don't mind just something tasty.The Portugeuse drink it cold don't they ??

Hello marko!<BR>Just asked an expert and the winners are:<BR>-Cristal<BR>-Imperial<BR>Both bottled and easily found at local stores like "Pingo Doce".<BR>Enjoy your stay!

Yes we drink it cold (very cold)<BR>The most famous beers are Sagres and Super Bock. They are sold everywhere, in bottles or draught. A draught beer is called an Imperial, so if you ask for uma imperial (one), or two (duas imperiais), everyone will understand you.<BR>We call a draught beer imperial, because many years ago, the only draught beer that existed was the brand imperial. Then, the imperial (brand) disapeared for many years, but the "nick name" - imperial - remained.<BR>The brand Imperial returned a couple of years ago, but the two giants (Sagres and Super Bock) control the market.<BR>But, the biggest Portuguese brewer is Cintra, that is going to start to produce beer very soon in Portugal. That Portuguese brewer only has production in Brasil, and he has a big share of the market there. <BR>Enjoy it.

Sagres is my favorite.<BR><BR>And yes, beer is served cold there.

It looked to me very odd when I was in Lisbon that on their restaurants' menus there was no beer selection included. When I asked for a beer, they just brought me something at their choice:) Nevertheless, whatever they brought it was very good, the only complain I had was that I never knew what I was actually drinking ;)

My personal fav is Super Boc. It's more full-bodied than the others IMO.

I also prefer Super Bock to Sagres, but Sagres isn't bad. Go to Cafe Brazileiro in Chiado (Lisboa) for a beer and atmosphere.

Beer: Super Bock.<BR>Great beer-restaurants in Lisbon:try Lusitana for home made beer and steaks,Trindade for a XVIII century restaurant, and also Portugalia. They are «portuguese chains» but very, very good.<BR>With money to spend go to Gambrinus restaurant (best beer in Lisbon), Papa A&ccedil;orda ( try the azorean alacatra beef)and Tavares Rico ( very expensive, but good!.<BR>Lisbon is the best city in the world!

So how do I say I want the biggest coldest, tastiest beer you have in Portugeuse?

Very easy:<BR><BR>I want the biggest coldest, tastiest beer you have or<BR><BR>Quero a mais fresca e saborosa cerveja or<BR><BR>Super Bock, por favor ( please)...<BR><BR><BR>

Great !!<BR>What time of the day do they start thinking about a cold one ??
