Feira Brasileira da Cerveja 2019

Feira Brasileira da Cerveja, which is part of the Beviale Family since 2018, is set to welcome the Brazilian beer sector to Blumenau from 13 to 15 March 2019.

The final preparations for the 2019 event are under way. Over a period of three days, the spotlight in Blumenau will be on all things beer. The event will be accompanied by Brazil's most successful beer festival, which includes the famous Brazilian Beer Contest featuring 2,800 entries from more than 475 breweries competing with one another in 148 categories. In 2018, Andrea Kalrait, Exhibition Director BrauBeviale and international product manager for the Beviale Family, was also part of the jury in her function as a beer sommelier.

The demand for products, equipment and systems that meet the specific requirements is considerable, because the Brazilian beer market is gaining momentum. Brazil is the country with the third largest beer production worldwide after the USA and China. Moreover, Brazil is also one of the world's leading countries for beer consumption. The average per capita consumption is growing and is estimated by research company Statista to be in the region of 65 litres per year for 2019. In the last ten years, the number of breweries in Brazil rose from 70 to 700.

In 2018 alone there was an increase of 35 percent. Despite Brazil's geographic size, the majority of micro-breweries are located in the South and South-East of the country, with Blumenau as the “beer capital”.
