Description
Founded in 2015, Lupum - or “wolf” in Latin - is the first and only farmhouse brewery in Portugal. Born as an experiment in the cellars of Antonio Lopes' family farm, the moniker was inspired by the founder's family name, meaning “son of wolf.” A laboratory technician turned mad scientist, António began with a singular goal - to brew what he loved, and to brew it well.

Nestled within the hills of the Douro River in the quiet parish of Avintes, just minutes inland from the infamous wine cellars of Porto, Lupum continues to stay true to its wild DNA: strong beers with a daring twist for the adventurous of heart, a work of love with total irreverence for the mandates of convention. Audentes fortuna iuvat - fortune favors the bold - and discovery belongs to those who seek it.

Coffee and roast. Tonka has an odd flavour I can't place but it's bitter. The beer finishes very bitter overall. Black pour with good mocha head and lacing. Nice stuff. Tap at Porto Beer Fest.

Pretty fine imperial stout. Maple is light here. Roast and chocolate. Caramel, booze and dates. Black oily pour. This is huge for sure, but still balances well. Bittersweet finish. Booze isn't as potent as you'd think in the flavour. Bottle from Outro Lado.
