Please note: considering the huge and neverending development of the world of beer in many countries, my comments below may be quite out-of-date.
Brazil had since 2000 with Ambev (resulting from a merge between Brahma, Antarctica and Skol) the 4th biggest brewer worldwide. Then, again in 2005,
Ambev merged with Interbrew to create InBev, the number one worldwide.
This was in my opinion one of the worst beer country in the world. Yet, a recent and quick development of the craft beer scene is now making of Brazil
a country of big interest to the beer geeks. So keep an eye of everything coming from this country.
Thanks to Per Samuelsson for some rare beers.
