Yes, you read it well. That’s right. A Clash of the Titans. A collision of worlds that, theoretically, cannot coexist in the same space. But in this hotel there is room for everything that comes with good intentions. So we set out on this adventure, with the spirit of overcoming whatever difficulties are necessary forContinue reading “Brett Pastry Porter”

Fermented Peach Golden Sour
In this hotel, in addition to the brewing fermentations, we also venture into other fermentations. We haven’t produced penicillin from yeast yet, but with time we will. A lot of bread has already been made (without ever letting it spoil), garlic fermented in honey, sauerkraut, kimchi, onions and we even fermented the tomatoes (the cherryContinue reading “Fermented Peach Golden Sour”
Tastings and Trials #5
We’ve been late to his drinking game, but summertime kept us busy, not only drinking. So let’s catch up. It’s time to reap what we sowed. Another round of beers, this time mostly some light stuff (we saved a heavy one for the end) that we enjoyed drinking in this past warm weather. Brett IPAContinue reading “Tastings and Trials #5”
Tmavé Pivo
What the hell is this now? Are there no good names for a style of beer anymore? Ask the Czechs, they are the ones naming this beer. But hey, the beer is good. Tmavé Pivo is another style of beer from the dark lagers family. It can be said that it’s the Czech version ofContinue reading “Tmavé Pivo”
Old School Berliner Weisse
A few years ago, it was very rare to hear about Berliner Weisses in the world of modern craft beer. The culture surrounding this beer was still on the streets of Berlin, where what Napoleon once called The Champagne of the North, was drunk. Originated in and around Berlin, there is no complete precision aboutContinue reading “Old School Berliner Weisse”
Coffee, Cocoa, Maple Syrup, Salted Caramel Gose
Time passes and passes quickly, the summer days are gone and almost back and we still haven’t written about it. Sorry about that, life happens. Well, remember that kitchen sink Black Gose? This beer is the opposite. Like that Beatles song that when played backwards left an enigmatic message. Turn me on, dead man. TheContinue reading “Coffee, Cocoa, Maple Syrup, Salted Caramel Gose”
Carbonic Maceration Grape Ale
We continue to insist on a truth that we believe in: the grape in Portugal and its combination with beer. And as we wrote earlier, we believe in more possibilities than just your usual Grape Ale. For this beer we explore another of these possibilities. For the first time we approached a technique from theContinue reading “Carbonic Maceration Grape Ale”
Tastings and Trials #4
Another round of beers coming out. By this time, some of our projects that require more time to mature start to be ready and asking for a tasting, reminding us that the beer is ready when it is good and not the other way around.In addition, the space to store bottles is becoming scarce, becauseContinue reading “Tastings and Trials #4”
Brett IPA
Faire Attention! A gathering was sighted in this pot, more than 5 microorganisms inoculated in a small closed bucket, high risk of contagion. It is true, you read it, we’ll explain later, all of this will make sense at the end of the this article. We promise. We’ve been running around like a teenager inContinue reading “Brett IPA”
Faith and Courage (Imperial Pastry Stout)
There are special moments that need to be remembered. Some other moments pass without leaving a mark, or so we think at least. But, even when there seems to be no follow-up, we take something from it. It all started with a joke, one that went wrong. We never wrote about it, but in ourContinue reading “Faith and Courage (Imperial Pastry Stout)”
