Lager in Brazil has a respectable history in light of the German foreigners. Most Brazilian brew brands have a tendency to be way less thick and intense than German, Danish or English lager. Over 90% of all brew devoured in Brazil is Pilsner, and it is generally smashed exceptionally icy (at a temperature near 0°C).
The most prominent household brands are Brahma, Antarctica, and Skol. Conventional brands incorporate Bohemia, Caracu (a stoutl), Original and Serra Malte (another stout). They are effortlessly found in bars, yet are typically more costly than the famous brews.
There are likewise some national premium brews that are discovered just in some particular bars and grocery stores; in the event that you need to taste a decent Brazilian lager, scan for Baden, Colorado, Eisenbahn, Petra, Theresopolis and others. There are additionally some universal lagers delivered by national bottling works like Heineken and Stella Artois
Most of the market has a place with AmBev, the proprietor of the Brahma, Antarctica, Bohemia and Skol brands. Brazil's biggest brewer was shaped in 1999 from the merger of the two greatest brands, Brahma and Antarctica.
The general lager classification in Brazil kept on withdrawing, seeing a 3% decrease in complete volume deals in 2016.
The fundamental driver behind such a development remained the troublesome financial circumstance which, in mix with the high joblessness rate of 11%, brought about contracting expendable earnings. Shoppers were progressively compelled to reconsider their shopping choices, by buying less or not buying at all, or notwithstanding minimizing to less expensive brands.
As brew is seen by numerous as an unnecessary item, utilization diminished.
On contrast, generationally speaking, the younger crowds are more interested in different flavors and drastically support local or smaller breweries rather than big AmBev. (not to mention some of the sketchy processes related to company, like videos of pigeons being shredded by the wheat machine and mixing it with the drink or how some beers are just pure corn juice, really cheap materials, not worth the money).
Even though the big centralized AmBev is falling, doesn't mean it's the end for beer. Not at all! More and more local breweries are rising, an increase of 35% were noted in regions like the Northeast and the Southeast, taking the powers from the hands of the corporations and giving it back to the consumer.

I have spent many times in Brazil. My favorite mass produced is Xingu, which is a very old beer there but is not that popular among many (I have no idea why it is an exceptional beer) The dark sweetness of it is very unique and should draw more attention. Brahma is a subpar beer for sure. Colorado is awesome. Another great hallmark of Brazilian beer is the coffee infused ones. Never had better coffee brews than down in Brazil. They usually infuse it which retains some the caffeine. I find Chopp quite a mystery but awesome. Everyone I ask has a differnt take on it. I have heard it is just the comparison of a “draft” in America but the head to the beer is very unique. I think it is likely due to the Co2. I also went to a microbrew place in Rio that had some awesome sours. Cheers!
True! Xingu, is amazing. I forgot about the coffee beers and even -the banana ones!- i mean, some come out good. Thank you for reading!
