About HopTrip Craft Beer Shop
Craft beer done properly is rare enough in greater Porto that HopTrip, sitting in Matosinhos, earns its reputation quickly. The selection runs to well over a hundred references — Portuguese, Spanish, and across Europe — covering IPAs, hazy pours, stouts, ciders, and styles most bars in the city wouldn't attempt. What makes the difference is the staff: they taste you through the options before you commit, explain the varieties with real patience, and read what you actually like rather than what you think you want. The food holds its own alongside the beer — chicken with gorgonzola and tagliata with potatoes are the plates people keep coming back for, and coxinha turns up repeatedly in the conversation. Dogs are welcome, the crowd is local and animated, and the whole thing runs at 5–15€.

Animated, welcoming room
