Museu da Cerveja, museo de cerveza en Lisboa
The Museu da Cerveja is a museum and restaurant in Lisbon dedicated to the history of beer brewing across Portuguese-speaking countries. The space features exhibits with old brewing tools, bottles, and photographs, while the ground floor restaurant offers seating for roughly 240 people and an outdoor terrace overlooking the Tagus River.
The museum traces the evolution of beer brewing from ancient times to the present day, with focus on techniques used in Portugal. A highlight is a recreation of a Benedictine monastery from the 1500s, showing how monks produced and stored beer during that era.
The museum reveals how beer has been woven into Portuguese daily life and social gatherings over time. Visitors can observe how locals and visitors alike use the space today to enjoy food, drinks, and conversation together.
It is best to visit during the day or early evening to explore the exhibits comfortably and then dine at the restaurant. The location at Terreiro do Paço is easily reached on foot from other sights in the area, and the staff are helpful in guiding visitors through both museum and dining experiences.
The entrance fee typically includes a tasting of various beer types, where visitors can learn to distinguish different flavors and brewing styles. Visitors under age 16 may explore the exhibits and space but cannot participate in alcohol tastings for safety reasons.
