Travel to another beer city in Brazil… Porto Alegre/RS
In October I went to Porto Alegre/RS, and I was invited to talk about my blog All Beers in a beer program call Extra-Malt. Already in town, I decided to meet some beer points and try some local craft beers.
BierMarkt Vom Fass
The “Drinkability” was the first place, a liquor store specializing in beer, there i found local beers like Baldhead, Seasons and Whitehead.
After this, i went to microbrewery “Seasons“, famous for their IPA call Green Cow. I tasted Green Cow and the new russian imperial stout, Bigfoot.
To close the first day, I went to the most talked beer places in Porto Alegre, “Biermarkt Vom Fass” with 24 taps (first photo) . Great place to visit, good beers and snacks!
Second and last day of my beer tour in Porto Alegre, i went to the “Malt Store – Special Beer“, new store in town, opened earlier this year, but very pretty and nice variety of brazilian craft beer and international labels. If your destination is Porto Alegre, don´t forget to visit and of course, drink something there!
“Bierkeller” was the last destination, a place that everyone must visit! A kind of beer secret place, it´s not open for the public, only members, in my case, I went with my friends of Drinkability.
Looks like we’re in another time, the rain outside also helps to create a totally different place, kinda vintage time.
Mr. Victor, the bar owner, shows me several breweries relics, each room reveals something different, a very nice experience.
There are no people to serve, you go to the refrigerator or freezer and choose which beer you want, like a home.
I´m also found local beers inside the bar, like EisenBruck, from Feliz/RS.
