Must see! This was such a nice surprise on our trip to Brazil... I booked a tour to Petropolis and…read moredidn't realize I booked the tour that included a tour of the local brewery.... Sooo glad I did. Not only is it a great informational tour everyone is super nice!!! You get a complimentary tasting glass and I cleaned out the gift shop, sorry... this should be on everyone's list when visiting Rio!!

Definitely worth the trip! Book a reservation at the restaurant and get ahead of the huge crowds…read morefor buying tickets for the museum and tour. It's definitely a full museum on the history of beer dating back to the BC times with Sumerians. After an extensive explanation and plenty of hands on monitors to interact with. The floors are divided with each process of making beer and then a movie following the distillery and finally the tasting room. They give a generous pour of some of the current brews. Make sure you stop by the gift shop and pick up some goodies. We tried the Wäs beer they showcased in the restaurant and they have a great dark stout called petroleum. Accurate to its name, it's a slow pour of viscous dark deliciousness. I would definitely take friends to do the tour or the restaurant or both again. Well done.
