From Amazon Beer:
The Amazon Beer is a brewery located in Belém, in Northern Brazil. Surrounded by the Amazon Forest, Belém is one of the richest Brazilian cities in fauna, flora and flavors. Expert in mix the taste of barley with typically regional ingredients, the Amazon Beer's manufacturers extracted the juice from the fruit of Açaí Tree. This flavor became the best brew in the Brazilian territory, winning the Brazilian Beer Festival prize in March 2014. The “Stout Açaí” ran against 413 other beers in Brazilian Beer Festival, and won because of its specifics flavors and aromas that blend coffee, chocolate, roasted malt, and of course, acaí. Brewers must also consider the other beers from the Amazon Beer, with emphasis to Forest Bacuri, produced with Bacuri, that is another popular fruit of the Amazon region, and one of the most requested in the Amazon Beer’s pub. The place where the pub is located has the greatest view of the Guajará Bay, which bathes the front of the capital of Pará, Belém, the metropolis of the Amazon.

Belém, July 24th 2014 - The richness of the Amazon’s flora and fauna inspired the
creation of many products in Brazil and worldwide. From this sensory universe, you can
extract the genuine essence of the region. Thinking about spreading the diversity of
Amazon’s aromas and flavors around the world, the Brazilian brewery Amazon Beer
led off a research based in combining exotic elements with the craft beer produced by
the brewery, located in Northern Brazil.
Voted in 2013 as the ‘Best Brewery’ by ‘Prazeres da
Mesa’ Magazine, the main Brazilian food vehicle,
Amazon Beer already secured its place in the artisanal
drinks market in Brazil. With a single touch, the brewery
has accumulated premiums with the beers Forest Bacuri,
Acai Stout, Witbier Taperebá and Red Ale Priprioca, all
flavored with local fruits, seeds and roots.
Typically, beers are prepared with the help of a
sommelier, who tries out and combines flavors to create
unique recipes. Associated with the research led by the
company experts, the creativity helped Amazon Beer’s
beverages to become the most consumed fermented
beers from Brazil, and conquered all lovers of craft beer.
Randy Mosher, a well-known American designer who created many brewery labels in
the USA, was specially invited to create the entire visual identity of Amazon Beer. On
the labels of the craft beers made by the Brazilian brewery, you can see many elements
that refer to the Amazonian region.

EXPERT GREETS AMAZON BEER
Last June, , the co-author of "The Pocket Beer Guide"
and "The World Atlas of Beer", was in São Paulo to
discuss the styles of brewer schools around the world,
to indicate trends and discuss the current situation of the
beer market in Brazil.
Among his main talking points, Beaumont emphasized
the importance of Brazilian brands insert in their beers
the Brazilian culture, specially by using the local
feedstock; according to him, the Amazonian region would be a great ally in this process.
"It's a way to put a signature on the Brazilian beer. There are ingredients and woods that
even Brazilians doesn’t know, and the way you can play with these is very exciting".
Beaumont argues that Brazilian breweries innovate on their labels, as well as Amazon
Beer does – fact that was mentioned by him during his lecture. Amazon Beer produces
beers with raw materials from the Amazon like açaí, taperebá, bacuri and priprioca. The
brewery recently won the award for best beer in Brazil with the label Açaí Stout.
