Erected in 1294, the Convento da Trindade Santíssima - owes its name to the Friars trills Christian captives freed from Moorish Lisbon, became after the thousand vicissitudes of history (fires , earthquakes and ultimately, extinction of the Portuguese religious orders) on the first brewery in the country. Founded, of course, by an industrious Galician, Manoel Garcia, in 1836, as well as the manufacture of liquid element, he immediately became Cervejaria , ie dispatch tavern that Galician wines elaborated in the Abbey bounces so shiny, decorated, and in mid-1860 with magnificent Masonic-inspired tiles, by Francisco Ferreira, and subsequently completed with modern panel of Mary Keil. Sita in the number 20 Rua Nova da Trindade in the Chiado district, the Brewery is a hive of natives to prolong the day slowly emptying glasses of beer, and hikers of every stripe (or pilgrims, perhaps, if trinitarian vocation to serve possibly inspire the visit) that, tired of hanging around the streets, collapse around a table, headgear and armed luck more patience, and taste the gastronomic pleasures land. The house beer - if not insists on the contrary, is served in pint glasses infamous (the photo attests) -, accompanied her, caught the Portuguese obsession for the cod, with a plate full of bacalhau to Brás, which certainly was delicious ... or was it hunger?
