Brasil Brau 2013
The twelfth Brasil Brau convention is now history. With 60 percent more exhibitors spread over a significantly larger area (6000 m2) this year, the biennial meeting of the Brazilian brewing scene has grown considerably since 2011. At that time, the convention already boasted 5000 visitors at the Transamerica Expo Center in São Paulo. This year the visitor numbers must have been substantially higher. One of the main reasons for the higher attendance at this year’s Brasil Brau is most certainly the increased interest in Degusta Beer, a platform for highlighting microbreweries and craft beers, which the organizers, Fagga Eventos and the Brazilian Association of Brewers and Maltsters (Cobracem), first made accessible to the public in 2011.
