Special delivery...

• Coconut water (água de côco) - it comes cold with a straw... delicious and sweet, perfect to hydrate.
• Popsicle and ice-cream - there are many natural flavors such as mango, acerola, papaya with orange, strawberry, coconut with pieces of coconut in it yum... lime, passionfruit... 
• Corn on the cob (milho verde) - the corn is salty, very tasteful. You can add butter if you want.
• Toasted cheese on a stick - very popular in many beaches, the guy toasts it right in front of you.
• Peanuts (amendoim) and Cashew nuts (castanha de caju) - very popular as well, I would advice you to buy a little more and bring with you to the hotel... you will need a little snack later.
• Beer - check my post about beer and find out which is the right for you.
• Caipirinha - check my post about caipirinha to understand what it is and how it's made.
• Tapioca - it is made of yuca flour, looks like a tortilla. You can order filled with coconut and condensed milk or cheese, ham, chicken, it varies. 
• Queijadinha - pastry made of coconut... addicting! looks like a mini pie... delicious... I mean, take many of them with you back home and share with the loved ones!
• Shrimp on a stick - if you hear anything similar to this, it means the shrimp guy is coming: "Olha o camarãooooooo"!! ;)

Hope you guys have a wonderful beach experience!

I'd like to be, under the sea

In an octopus' garden in the shade

He'd let us in, knows where we've been

in his octupus' garden, in the shade.

I'd ask my friends to come and see

An octopus' garden with me

I'd like to be under the sea

Beer & Draft Beer

Brazilians love beer and for this reason we have many national brands that are worth trying, and in general that’s what you will find over here. On today’s post I named our most famous national brands so you can get familiar... but of course, if you prefer to stay in your bubble you will find many international brands as well.

In Brazil beer corresponds to 90% of all alcoholic drinks and it has everything to do with the climate and to the fact that it is allowed to drink in public.

Before we start I have 3 tips:

TIP1: If you are not a big fan of foam, let the waiter know, in Brazil they will serve beer with lot of foam.

TIP2: The beer comes extremely cold.

TIP 3: Remember to cheer!

Here are our national brands:

Antarctica - light and smooth.

Antarctica draft is one of the Brazilian’s favorite for happy hour.

Brahma - low fermentation, full body, not so bitter.

Bohemia - bitter, but slightly sweet.

Skol - Number 1 in Brazil, this beer is light and smooth.

Itaipava - light color, very tasty and smooth.

Original - This is classic beer, very tradicional. Has a light color and bitter flavor and scent.    

Devassa - the draft comes smooth with a creamy foam.

Dear friends... tell us about your experience in Brazil, did you like our beer?
