We were born in 2015 to brew the beers we wanted to drink, and we always kept focused on quality. We settled our brewery in Lisbon’s Graça neighbourhood and from there we started our mission to change beer consumption in Portugal. We believe we’ve been achieving it daily and we’ll keep doing it. We brewed a dozen of new beers, reached the entire country, managed to export abroad, and opened our own places in Lisbon. The best part is that we are aware this is just the beginning. The Oitava Colina Oitava Colina stands for Eight Hill. When Frei Nicolau de Oliveira, in the XVII century, named Lisbon as the city of the seven hills, he did it wrongly on purpose. As seen by the river, then the city’s entrance door, Lisbon had seven hills on sight. At least from that perspective, the castle blocks the sight of Graça Hill. The Frei noticed there was another hill behind the castle, the 8th hill, but he decides to marginalize it just to make the parallel to Rome, then the world’s biggest city, the city of the 7 hills. Our brewery is on Graça Hill. For the sake of historic justice, we decided to adopt that name, 8ª Colina, 8th Hill.
