Overview

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Brazil is the world's fourth largest market for beer with over 88 million barrels produced in 2010 and annual per capita consumption of 53.3 litres. The tradition of brewing in Brazil dates back to German immigration in the early nineteenth century. The first breweries date from the 1830s, although the brand Bohemia is claimed to be the first Brazilian beer, with production starting in 1853 in the city of Petropolis, Rio de Janeiro. Actually, Bohemia is the oldest Brazilian beer which is still under production (now owned by Anheuser-Busch InBev). Naturally, many breweries appeared and disappeared in that period like Ritter from Rio Grande do Sul and Imperial Fabrica de Cerveja Nacional from Rio de Janeiro. Two important brands, Antarctica and Brahma, started production in the 1880s.
