About Epicura Craft Beer House
Epicura Craft Beer House is a compact brewery tap rooted in Coimbra-Baixa's vibrant bar scene, sitting just steps from Portugal dos Pequenitos. The venue showcases Epicura's own artisanal brews—a roster that rotates through styles like rosemary saison and grape-ale sours—alongside carefully selected regional and international craft beers on draft and in cans. Reviewers consistently praise the house beers as "excellently made" and the selection as abundant without overwhelming; the owner and staff are noted for their knowledge and willingness to guide guests through tastings. Honest pricing and small plates (including sourdough pizza made from spent grain) round out the experience. The space itself is casual and cosy, with good ambient music, outdoor seating, ample free parking nearby, and full wheelchair accessibility. It draws both locals and tourists seeking an authentic, unpretentious introduction to Portuguese craft beer.
