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.

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

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 Açorda ( try the azorean alacatra beef)and Tavares Rico ( very expensive, but good!.<BR>Lisbon is the best city in the world!
