It was adorable. Soda of choice for the Brazilians. It's a really excellent product which I have been loving ever since I first tried it in Brazil but one person I know loves that way more than I do and that person is named Barbie. This is one of my favourite sodas even though it's a little on the sweet side and has a strange taste. It's made from some kind of Guarana syrup which is apparently sourced from the Amazon region and it's the Brazilian national drink. It is to them what Coca-Cola is to America - but it's definitely got more about it than Coca-Cola and I highly recommend giving it a try even though it is clearly not very good for you. Maybe that's why the Brazilians have such ample charms in the rear Department.

I loved the concept of this store - a wine shop that lets you hang out and enjoy a glass or a…read morebottle before, during or after picking out your bottles. The store is organized by region with the largest variety coming from Spain, Chile and Argentina. Clearly the management likes Spanish wines best. They give courses here and do events, though I've never been and can't really comment. I have some issues with the execution. This is Brazil, so obviously it gets crazy hot. This store is all open air, so it seems your carefully created bottles are not being kept climate controlled. I guess this probably also happens when you transport wine in this country, but most wine shops here are kept at a more palatable temperature. They have only a few bottles kept in the fridge at the appropriate temperature for drinking, and none of them were white wine which is usually what I prefer for an afternoon sip. They also offer glasses of wine, but they didn't seem to have marked the bottle with the open date nor did they use one of the corks that removes air from the bottle to keep from over oxidizing (typical problem here). Having given the shop a once over, I asked the clerk if they had any Spanish Tempranillo, nope and no suggestions for a similar bottle. I ended up with a Verdejo which I found myself no thanks to her. They seriously need to step up their wine game here. I would not pay for classes from them though it could be a fun place to come with friends especially while waiting for a table at Naga or Nakka. The cheapest wine bottle I saw was R$72 but most were around R$150. Not cheap unless you are thinking in current exchange rate terms. The place is still under a year old so hopefully they improve their selection and step up their training.

I personally love this quiosque located inside of the Shopping ElDorado. Seriously. They offer…read moretwo kinds of beer- one light and one dark. Both are delicious (I'm a special fan of the dark myself). It's also got a range of typical bar food like mandioca frita and coxinhas, too although I've never tried those. Its a very low key place near the food courts that is rarely filled with sad, drunk people. Normally is filled with fun couples waiting for a movie or people relaxing after work. Seriously..its great.

Fermentary Trail location was beautiful inside of an industrial warehouse looking room with a large…read moreroll up door giving the entrance an open room feeling in a decent neighborhood with just the right amount of décor to make it pleasant & interesting. We sat at a barrel on the sidewalk just outside the location where a pleasant gentleman was possibly providing security even though the street had very few pedestrians on it. No loud music was being played while I was there, which is not common at many of the breweries I've been to in 9 Latin American in the last 2 months. They serve a variety of styles of been on tap as well as bottles & cans to go. I had the West Coast IPA which was great & 2 of their Barleywine Ales which were outstanding! They have great personal pizzas & some other fine looking pub foods, I really enjoyed my pizza & even though they are small, they are very high quality with just the right amount of char on the crust which I enjoy. They do quite a few barrel aged beers which are sealed with a thick coat of wax & I'll be returning to take some home with me. There is a selection of high quality merch, shirts, hats, glasses, etc & they are all extremely friendly & helpful staff who spoke enough English for this lame gringo to be informed when I had questions. They allowed me to purchase kibbe from across the street & eat it at their location no problem & when I saw the bartender leaving on his bicycle he was very gracious to stop & make sure we were enjoying our time there. Highly Recommended!

I was really excited to go and visit this spot in São Paulo! As a beer lover I've been following…read moreWoT on Instagram for a long time. However, my experience wasn't great at all. I'm giving them three stars because the beer itself was really good but the service was poor and so was the food. The waitress handed us the wrong menu and when we went to order she said we couldn't eat a majority of the food we ordered as it wasn't served on Mondays. We asked if we could get the correct menu. Upon reviewing the updated menu we ordered. A few minutes later she comes back to say that a majority of what we ordered wasn't available. So we had to order again. The place was empty as we arrived right when they opened. They forgot our beers and once the food arrived it was very stale and cold. It felt as if the food was old and heated up in a microwave. I unfortunately don't plan on returning because of this experience!!

All kind of defeating the purpose of a craft brew pub in my opinion. Also the staff don't really have any personality especially the bartenders. They serve and disappear like robots. Aren't brewpubs supposed to be fun and outgoing? I didn't eat only drank. The menu is basically your typical bar food... Nothing really inspiring... Burgers, hot dogs, coxinha, etc. I gave 2 stars because the atmosphere is really cool and the beer was just alright. 2.5 is probably more accurate. However, I'm probably not going to come back and I would not recommend it.

In the US there are many micro brews but here there are only four in the entire city. I tried the Weiss Beer and the Red Ale. Both are fantastic. Both are well balanced with just the right amount of bitter units for the type of beer. The wheat beer rivals Paulaner Weiss micro brew in NYC. The Red Ale is in the English style and is s better version of Old Speckled Hen. Great beer is only part of the story. The owner is very engaging and speaks some English. Show some interest in how beer is made and he will have you smelling New Zealand hops and explaining how temperature at fermentation impacts his beers. This place is the perfect place to kill an hour or an afternoon.
