Are there any microbrewery in Lisbon/Tomar in Portugal?
What is the specialty brew in Portugal? Is there any special beer or beer-like alcohol from Portugal?

The shop provides some products to home brewers. The microbrewery (quite micro indeed) makes some really good brews in today’s IPA trend. During a stay with friends in september (Belgians), we bought some American Pale Ale (4,9 %) and some Rye IPA (6,8 %). Very nice.
The two craft breweries in Lisbon are Dois Corvos and Oitava Colina. Dois Corvos has a tasting room a couple km from the centre. Both make good beer.
Edit: Dois Corvos and Oitava Colina are both craft breweries in the area.
Generally, Lisbon seems to be a wine destination, which means beer doesn't end up shining in any significant way in the region.

There are two craft breweries in Lisbon. The Lisbon Beer Museum (Museu da Cerveja) mostly has industrial beer and is mainly for tourists.– muleCommented Nov 29, 2015 at 9:52
There is a chain restaurant over in Portugal called Cervejeira Lusitana; also known as the Lusitanian Brewery. This restaurant is a brewpub that sells beer and Portuguese food. There should be a few in Lisbon, but I am not quite sure about Tomar.
Portugal is not really known for their beer that I know of. It seems like the beers they sell commonly aren't too much on the hoppy-side either. From what I found about the usual style of beer over there, it seems that lagers are very common. There are a few other styles it seems, but no real specialty brew. I would ask around and see if any of the locals know of any particular bars and brews to try.
EDIT: Forgot to add the TripAdvisor link for them.
Go to http://www.ratebeer.com/search.php and in the Brewer Search enter Lisbon in the City and Portugal in the Country, then click Search.
It returns 4 breweries.

Almost five years after this question was asked I can add Quimera Brewpub, in Rua Prior do Crato, Lisbon, that I visited in March 2019. The About page of their website states:
We have 12 taps of craft beers and bottles, all produced either by us or from good Portuguese micro breweries.
