The Stories Behind Super Bock & Sagres
Super Bock: A Legacy Born in Porto
Super Bock is more than just a beer in Portugal—it’s an icon of celebration and togetherness. First brewed in 1927 by Unicer (now known as Super Bock Group) in the vibrant city of Porto, Super Bock quickly became synonymous with Portuguese hospitality and the joy of life’s big and small moments.
With its golden color, rich malt character, and a perfect touch of bitterness, Super Bock is Portugal’s most awarded beer internationally. Its enduring recipe remains a closely guarded secret, known only to master brewers who have upheld tradition for nearly a century. Super Bock has expanded its range too, offering not only the beloved classic lager, but also mini bottles for sharing and a rich, velvety stout for those with deeper tastes.
For many, the sight of a cold Super Bock evokes memories of beachside cafés, bustling festivals, and heartfelt gatherings with friends and family. From football match cheers to summer BBQs, Super Bock truly “unites the table” across Portugal and beyond.
Sagres: The Spirit of Lisbon and the Portuguese Coast
Sagres is another powerhouse of Portuguese brewing, launched in 1940 and named after the rugged and legendary southwestern tip of Portugal, a place famously linked with the Age of Discoveries. Created by the Central de Cervejas brewery in Lisbon, Sagres was introduced at the Portuguese World Exhibition and quickly established itself as a national favorite.
The brewery’s commitment to quality and its embrace of innovation made Sagres the go-to lager across the Portuguese mainland and islands. With a crisp, dry taste and refreshing finish, Sagres reflects the vitality of Portugal’s seaside life, urban gatherings, and endless “esplanada” afternoons in the sun.
Sagres is deeply woven into the cultural fabric of Portugal—on tables at family feasts and in the hands of fans during major sporting events. Its famous red and white label is instantly recognizable in bars and homes nationwide, and its story continues as new fans around the world discover its unique charm.
Both Super Bock and Sagres have played pivotal roles in Portugal’s brewing heritage, each carrying stories of pride, place, and Portuguese identity to beer lovers everywhere. By bringing these traditions to the UK, Mercado Invicta helps you enjoy not just exceptional taste but a true sip of Portuguese culture.
