\"novo-brazil-corvo-negro-bottle\"<\/a>A few+ years back, I had the opportunity to sample a wide range of different Brazilian beers down in Curitiba, in the Paran\u00e1 state of southern Brazil. I\u2019d been flown down as, essentially, an ambassador of RateBeer, which was (at the time) one of the main congealing elements of online beer culture in that region of the world. I\u2019ve never met such passionate homebrewers. And, being there to witness that nascent craft beer scene\u2014operating, like many international beer scenes of late, on an accelerated timescale courtesy of lessons learned in the U.S.\u2014well, it felt a little bit like getting a glimpse back in time to an earlier part of our own beer culture.<\/p>\n

You could taste potential. You could tell where things were headed.<\/p>\n

And one of the main highlights of that trip had been W\u00e4ls. Pitch-perfect renditions of tripel, quadrupel and bi\u00e8re brut, in a beer culture more generally inclined to German styles. Various batches of their Petroleum, a chewy imperial stout, were equally on point. Despite W\u00e4ls\u2019 sale to AmBev last year and (more especially) Brazil\u2019s current economic crisis, it\u2019s encouraging to hear from Brazilian peeps still planning to open breweries once their economy\u2019s upright, and also to see vestiges of that core spirit of W\u00e4ls appearing in places like southern California.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
