We can't substantiate anything about its founding, the brewers or the equipment, so we leave it at that. No website is known.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe region does tell you something. According to The Oxford Companion to Beer, Rio Grande do Sul and other southern states were where German immigrants started the first Brazilian breweries. Since the 1990s, the craft beer scene in the country has been growing again. A nanobrewery sits at the small end of that scene.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eStrong beers with dessert names\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom what we have received from Dude, they keep it strong: a barleywine and a stout, both around 10%.

Take it out of the fridge for a quarter of an hour and pour it into a small glass, so the malt and the heavier notes come through well.
