Yet another fine beer to drink in Brazil, Bohemia Confraria was launched in 2005 as a special edition, derived from a Middle Age recipe, created by monks and improved by Bohemia. It is not easy to find Bohemia Confraria in a bar but if you do find it I recommend you to taste it. It´s a Belgian style abbey beer like Leffe (AmBev - AB InBev). Most of the big supermarkets in the state of São Paulo have it. It is brewed in Jacarei - São Paulo.

When you think about Brazilian drinks you think about Caipirinha & Cachaça. But Brazil is starting to have some good beers. It is not only the common mass-produced brands like; Skol, Brahma, Antartica,... More microbreweries are rising from the dust and beers brewed by the microbrewers have a more distinctive flavour. From now on will share my experience here and review some of these great Brazilian Beers.
One of my favourite bottled beers is Baden Baden Red Ale, which is a very potable rich and creamy English-style Barley wine with 9.2% alcohol content. Brewed in the beautiful town named Campos do Jordão in the state of São Paulo.
You can visit the brewery when you make an appointment and taste their draft beers Crystal (=pilsen) and Bock for free after a 30 minute visit.

Note: The accusation was started by rivalling beer company Nova Schin.
