Cerveja Bavaria Premium


Bavaria Premium is a fine Brazilian pilsen.   A classic pilsner flavor with a subtle finish. Great on a hot day or even better for playing Polish Horseshoes in the park.  I personally think it fits in the same category as Brahma, Skol, and Antartica; yet, that could be argued by some.  Not too much going on here, but the drinkability level is high.

Tres Lobos American Pilsen



I recently found my favorite beer in Brazil (so far) and I have just been drinking it and not posted a review.  Shame on me I say.  Tres Lobos American Pilsner is by far the best Brazilian beer I have had since I have lived here.  I have been looking for a beer that is hoppy yet smooth with good drinkability.  I think the reason it took so long to find this beer is because it is labeled as an American Pilsner, which is most definitely is not.  The first sip of this fine cerveja and you realize you have a gem.  The floral hops hit you in the nose, but don’t stay there for too long.  A little tinge of malt mixes in for a subtle balance that makes this beverage perfect for me.  Since I found this beer, I think I have gone back to the store and purchased about 8 of the 355ml bottles (at 3.99 reals per pop!)  It isn’t the most economical beer, but my favorite of Brazil so far.  Saude!!!
