Who is behind it and when the brand started isn't stated. What is concrete: in 2022 it opened the Locals Beer Spot, a beach house on the praia de Boiçucanga in São Sebastião, in the state of São Paulo. The house has three spaces and 15 taps, and it revolves entirely around their own beers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTheir beer and style\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe website says little about styles.

With a strength of up to 8.4%, you can also let the glass warm up a little, because then more flavour is released.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!--faq--\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere does Locals Only Brewing Co. come from?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLocals Only Brewing Co. comes from São Paulo in Brazil.
