WIRTW #767: the 'cerveja' edition


When part of your business involves providing legal representation to craft breweries, even vacation means finding a beer garden where you can sit, relax, and sample the local brews.

Saúde to Letaria, a craft brewery tucked inside Óbidos, Portugal—a 12th-century walled town that feels straight out of a fairytale. The beer was excellent, and the quiet beer garden offered the perfect escape from the bustle of a crowded summer weekend in this popular tourist hub.


If you ever find yourself there, don't skip the ginja, a sour cherry liqueur served in chocolate cups and sold all over town. It's as fun as it is delicious.
