Winter Affair Gossip: Escafandrista

This year, we were lucky enough to welcome Brazilian brewery Cervejaria Escafandrista to our Winter Affair festival – one of the most exciting craft breweries in South America. A truly exclusive occasion, and since they had crossed the ocean to visit us in person, a collaboration brew was simply meant to happen. Together, we decided to create a beer inspired by Brazil’s i conic cocktail – the caipirinha. Into the base of a light sour ale, we added juicy passion fruit, fresh limes, and a touch of authentic cachaça – a sugarcane spirit with a subtly earthy and warming character. The result is a refreshingly vibrant Sour Ale with tropical aromas, bright citrus acidity, and a gently exotic finish that’ll transport your palate a few thousand kilometers south. Lightbodied, juicy, and with a bold taste of Brazil in every sip.
