Brazil

I have spent my fair share of time in this South American country. Its seems over the past few years the sport of surfing has come to the fore front of this continent with a huge amount of enthusiasm and demand for the elite to come and showcase there skills. I have discovered the serenity of the jungle and the bustling chaos of Rio. As any tourist in a foreign speaking country i was immediately drawn to the comical readily available Skol. It took me a few more visits before i was able to take a good look around at what other beers the Brazilians had on offer not that i was complaining about the Skol its the Corona of South America ideal for the humid lingering hazy days spent on tropica

l Brazilian beaches.

Skol like any Aussie the name grabbed me straight off the bat. Over the years i have managed to Skol my fair share of these. As i mentioned the Corona of South America.

Antatartica Pilsner. Carries a much fuller flavor it is a little bitter going down yet somehow smooth, its a light colored beer with mild sweet aroma.Is one of the major players in Brazil and duels for the number one spot in beer sales within Brazil.

Brahma is a pale larger, yellowish in color with a light malty flavor and again slightly bitter yet manages to be refreshing( Most beers in Brazil can be refreshing if shared on the beach after a long day of surfing)

Most places serve beers out of the bottle or can, I prefer if i have the option to have one on tap. If your out and about and not on the marvelous beach-front with options such as below remember to say chopp thats beer on tap!

Overall Im yet to really be 100% impressed with the Ales supplied in Brazil. I know variety is out there but its hard to come by. So just embrace the culture, the people watching, the diversity there are reasons to go to Brazil but Im just not so sure Beer is one of them.
