The 8a Colina brewery tap is metres off the famed 28 tram route, as is the brewery itself which was visited first in error. With ten taps a reasonable selection was available. Some of the Bier we tasted elsewhere, it is ubiquitous in the Craft Beer Bars in Lisboa.
Vila Berta 6.2%
This could be the thinnest and least – milkshake-like – NEIPA. It had much more flavour on tap than it did in bottle (The Beer Station). Don’t write it off.

Elisa Sour 5.2%
A wonderfully sour IPA, this yellow and clear Bier lived up to its description – Sour!

Joe da Silva 5.5%
APA, gold and clear, this had body appropriate to the abv. A decent session – lager – so any real sense of being an American Pale Ale was not forthcoming.
