portugal / beers

Please note: considering the huge and neverending development of the world of beer in many countries, my comments below may be quite out-of-date.

Beer became popular only since a few years and Portugal is still very far of being a beer country. The market is dominated by two breweries (Centralcer and Unicer) and this at about 50% each. The Sagres and the Super Bock can easily be found in Switzerland. Thank you to Raphaël "Grave Digger" Weber for the 2 Coral.

Breweries: 80 / Consumption per capita: 51 litres / % imported: 4% / % exported: 9%.
