It's definitely a full museum on the history of beer dating back to the BC times with Sumerians. After an extensive explanation and plenty of hands on monitors to interact with. The floors are divided with each process of making beer and then a movie following the distillery and finally the tasting room. They give a generous pour of some of the current brews. Make sure you stop by the gift shop and pick up some goodies. We tried the Wäs beer they showcased in the restaurant and they have a great dark stout called petroleum. Accurate to its name, it's a slow pour of viscous dark deliciousness. I would definitely take friends to do the tour or the restaurant or both again. Well done.

You'll find many imports from Belgium, Germany, and the US along with some Brazilian brews. Don't get too excited before ordering. You'll find they don't have many beers on the menu for whatever reason. It's pretty disappointing but a replacement beer will still be good. The burgers are their main entrée. They're actually very good, and the vegetarian one would be a good choice for anyone! Indoor and outdoor seating is available. Staff doesn't speak much English but does accept credit cards.

Delirium Tremens is on tap, which is good because it's the name sake. I like dark stouts and though they have a few on the menu they don't always stock them. Food is decent and I tried the bacon burger which was filling. It comes with a side of fries. It gets crowded but they've expanded the seating outside which spills out onto the road which is nice for the smokers. The inside is narrow and has only one bathroom for each (male and female). Service was friendly and it's a fun place to hangout at.

It's a small shop with shelves filled with a variety of beers from the local Noi, Jeffrey and 2 Cabeças to the imported Anderson Valley and Brooklyn. They also offer collectors sets, with glasses, koozies, even beer soap if you're looking for a perfect gift. The refrigerator near the cashier has cold beers available for drinking on the spot and provide you with a glass but no real area to sit or stand to enjoy it. Nevertheless the variety was impressive and convenience to the Carioca metro station was a plus.

The store also features a handful of novelty items such as beer glasses, magnets, and even beer soap (including a bar of MaracujIPA soap from 2 Cabeças!). The place was pretty hot inside and had little air flow, but I think it was more due to a recent decrease in temperature in Rio as we are now in winter, not because they don't have air conditioning here. If you're in the area and looking for some good cerveja, whether to take home, give as a gift, or just to quench your thirst, stop in and check out Beer Underground.

The place is a small, cozy bar/pub near Flamengo beach. Not very "beachy", but very cute (I only point the "beachy" part because well.. it's Rio). They have a nice selection of beers, but the catch is that they always have some good promotions going on. Meaning: great beer for a cheaper price! Oh, yeah! The selection of beers is good, not great... but they divide the beers by countries and types, which is good to taste new beers according to what you like the most (I particularly LOVE british beers - bitter and strong, if possible). For the food... the selection is not big, and I did not tried the appetizers, only the burgers... those are very satisfying: big, with fries and a nice sauce! Downside: the two times I came here the service was pretty bad... not that the waiters were rude (a thing that it is normal in Rio), but they were just... well, bad! Forgetting stuffs and taking long to attend because they don't keep an eye over the whole bar. Also, the food took a while to get, even though the bar was kinda empty... in a table next to mine a couple was waiting a long, LONG time for a small portion of appetizers (clearly the waiter forgot to order). In any case, it is a nice place to go and have some nice beers for an (somehow) affordable price... but if you are looking for more than that, well, like the Disney song says: let it go!
