However, we found not only the places, but also amazing people that soon became friends and with whom we have been since able to share that same passion.
The curiosity over all the brewing process took us to the next step: training, a lot of reading and of course, many small batches produced in order to improve our recipes.
Initially for our own consumption (homebrewing), and with a production capability from 16 to 40 lts depending on style, we continued producing the beer styles we liked the most.
Today we want to share that passion.

Slightly hazy/yellow pour with a small white head. Mango, grapefruit, grains and a hint of herbs for a decent bitter finish.

330ml can from Beer52. Semi hazed gold with small white top. Aroma has floral and citric hops notes with some wheat and confectionary. Taste has a grainy dextrin malt flavour with some modest lemon and orange hop flavours coming through. Medium bodied, semi-drying. Some late modest juicy hop burst. Below average for the style and strength but not a bad beer.

Bottle at Catraio Craft Beer Shop, Porto, 27/10/22. Black with a decent tan cap that dissipates edgewards. Nose is roast malts, umami, good sherry notes, vinous, dried fruit rinds. Taste comprises jammy fruits, big ballsy chocolate cloak, dark malts, spice, figgy jam, sherry, boose. Full bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with a balanced rising boost. Solid punchy BA sherry affair.
