Ophiussa Brewing Co. is a creative microbrewery based in Setúbal, Portugal. Officially founded in 2021 by a group of friends passionate about craft beer, the brewery blends inspiration from European beer traditions and modern American hop-forward styles to produce a diverse range of beers that challenge expectations and showcase flavour innovation.

Ophiussa’s portfolio includes hoppy IPAs, smoothie sours, pastry stouts, and barrel-aged imperial stouts, all brewed with quality ingredients and without pasteurisation or filtration to preserve character and fullness. Their beers often feature bold fruit flavours, creamy textures, and robust hop profiles, and the brewery regularly experiments with new techniques and collaborative brews.

The name “Ophiussa” draws on ancient local legend — it refers to an Iron Age people said to have inhabited parts of Portugal long before Roman influence, evoking a sense of boldness and heritage that mirrors the brewery’s adventurous approach.
