About the beer

Urraca Vendaval is, in its own right, one of the most recognized IPAs in the Portuguese beer scene. Produced by Oitava Colina in Lisbon, it is an unpasteurized beer that maintains its identity batch after batch — a consistency that the brewery itself considers its greatest pride. With 6% ABV and 58 IBU, it is a classic IPA in the most honest sense of the term: Citra and Cascade dry hop, well-defined fruity and citrus aromas, firm bitterness, and a dry finish. No haze, no residual sweetness — just hops and character.

Pairing: The pronounced bitterness of Urraca is a natural ally at the table. With beef burgers, the contrast between the bitterness and the fat of the meat creates a classic balance. With hard-rind aged cheeses, the intensity of the beer complements the salty and fatty flavors. It also works well with pepperoni pizza, fried chicken, or spicy dishes — the carbonation cleanses the palate between every bite.
