Brazil: The United States and Brazil Cheer 200 Years of Friendship with Bicentennial Beer

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)   |   BR2024-0020
In celebration of 200 years of diplomatic relations between Brazil and the United States, the U.S. Embassy and Consulates in Brazil launched the “Bicentennial Beer”. Made by a Brazilian brewery and using 100% U.S. hops, this beer is a mouthwatering blend of both countries’ unique flavors. It harmonizes the pine-scented Coast hops with an infusion of cambuci (cahm-boo-chee), a fruit native to Brazil’s Atlantic Forest, adding notes of sweet citrus. This winning recipe was created by Tábuas Brewery, from Campinas, Sao Paulo, which took first place in a competition held by USA HOPS and the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA). The Bicentennial Beer was launched at an event in Sao Paulo on May 20th, 2024 and is available at the brewery as well as special events.
