Floripa Beer Experience – Experience with a taste of local beer

Experience with a taste of local beer

Hand over your ticket, get your glass. Swap your cash (or credit on your bank card) for chips and get ready to start tasting some – as many as you want or can! – of the 70 craft beer labels available at the Floripa Beer Experience.

A definite destination for beer lovers, the event that takes place from Friday (10th) to this Saturday (11th), in CentroSul, in Florianóplis, brings together 12 breweries. At the stands, learn more about where and how the drinks are produced, the particularities of each one, information about the flavor and harmonization. If you are from Florianópolis or a neighboring city, it is possible that one of the exhibitors is an acquaintance of you, or a relative of a friend of yours: the brands are all produced here in the vicinity, in Greater Florianópolis.

Empty the glass? Want more? Rinse the container with water – sinks are dotted throughout the sprawling convention center – and go check it out again.

If hunger strikes, indulge yourself: there are options for sandwiches, pizzas, bar snacks, seafood, healthy foods and even sweets at the food trucks around the food court.

This Saturday, the stage will host The Youth, Otávio Marcolla Blues Band and Get Back. On Friday, the bands Time Bomb and Samba CEFID packed the craft beer lovers.

If you feel like brewing your own beer, check out the Science of Beer Institute booth. Based in Florianópolis, the school founded in 2013 promotes courses aimed at the beer market throughout the country. At the counter, you can check the institute's calendar of events and learn a little more about the manufacturing processes.

The Floripa Beer Experience is organized by the Association of Microbreweries of the Metropolitan Region of Florianópolis (União Cervejeira), with support from the Association of Micro and Small Business Entrepreneurs and Individual Entrepreneurs of the Metropolitan Region of Florianópolis (Ampe Metropolitana).
