Local Collaborations
We are a company founded and established in Castro Marim, however since most of our raw materials are not grown in the Algarve (unfortunately), we wanted to incorporate products of local origin in order to create beers with a more robust regional character, to create an essentially Algarvian beer, authentically Portuguese. That's when the idea of partnering with other local producers arose, attesting to the origin and quality of the chosen products and creating a network for sharing knowledge and practices. In a globally structured economy, it is often difficult for the small producer to have some coverage and in this way, creating partnerships and cooperatives we manage not only to enhance the survival of the small local producer but also to promote products and ideas that could end up being restricted to a purely touristic market. Starting this new adventure of discovery right at our door we carefully chose 3 typical cultures of our dear Algarvian Sotavento - carob, orange and fig - and created 3 different beers, 3 new personalities with the Algarve's aroma and Portuguese soul: Lager Delight, Algarvian Sunrise and Mystic Brew. These new partnerships came to fruition with the collaboration of Mercearia Bio Meio-Limão providing us with organic carob harvested in the fields around us, Chef Jossara Martins using her culinary expertise to select and prepare Algarvian harvested oranges with incredible flavor and aroma and Quinta da Fornalha whose organic figs have already acquired international renown due to their exceptional quality.
