The tradition of brewing in Brazil dates back to European immigration in the early nineteenth century. Beer is brewed in the very south of Brazil where there are many German immigrants brewing traditional German style lagers to the mouth of the Amazon up in the north at Belém where the Cerpa brewery can be found.The majority of the market (approximately 83%) belongs to Inbev, the owner of the brands Brahma, Antarctica, Bohemia and Skol. Brazil's largest brewer was formed from the merger of the two biggest brands Brahma and Antarctica. In 2005, Ambev merged with Belgium's Interbrew (Stella Artois, Becks, Staropramen and many others) to form the world's largest brewer now known as Inbev. After the merge, Primo Schincariol became the largest Brazilian-owned brewery in the country.
In 2002, Molson Coors bought Brazil's second largest brewery Kaiser. In 2006, the Mexican FEMSA Cerveza acquired 68% of Kaiser Brewery from Molson Coors. Molson Coors still helds 15% of Kaiser brewery and Heneiken helds the 17% remaining. Recently, FEMSA Cerveza released Mexican brand Sol in Brazilian market to compete with the biggest Inbev's brands.
There are a number of microbreweries in Brazil, the emergence of which is a relatively recent phenomenon. Over the past decade or so Brazil has imported more and more brands of beer from Europe and the USA. These imports are more expensive than locally brewed beers. Some international brands are actually produced in Brazil such as Stella Artois, Carlsberg, Heineken, Budweiser and Miller, but all dedicated to premium market with very small market share.
Pilsener type is the mostly consumed in Brazil with limited choices to different types
Market share in 2006: Ambev/Inbev (68,92%), Schincariol (12,55%), Kaiser/Femsa (8%), Petrópolis brewery (5%), others ( 5,53%)A cerveja é uma bebida produzida a partir da fermentação de cereais, principalmente a cevada maltada, e acredita-se que tenha sido das primeiras bebidas alcoólicas a serem desenvolvidas pelo homem.Os aspectos nocivos do álcool incitam debates sobre a publicidade do setor, que hoje possui regras cada vez mais rígidas. Mas, apesar disso, inúmeras celebridades figuram em anúncios de bebidas alcoólicas num mercado extremamente competitivo. Em junho de 2007, o então ministro da Saúde do Brasil José Gomes Temporão ressaltou que classe artística deveria avaliar como ela coloca sua imagem, antes de endossar campanhas de bebidas, uma vez que apenas entre os anos de 2005 e 2006, o consumo de álcool no Brasil cresceu 7,5%.[2]
Sobre essa questão, afirma o psiquiatra Dartiu Xavier em artigo publicado no jornal Folha de São Paulo em 13/06/2004: "A publicidade de bebida bate pesado justamente nessa população. E a gente sabe que o adolescente é vulnerável a essa influência. Existe uma crença generalizada de que o álcool é uma substância inócua porque é legal"[3]. Nos primeiros meses de 2007, no Brasil, uma liminar foi concedida pelo juiz Jorge Luís Barreto, da 2ª Vara Federal no Ceará, proibindo em todo o país propagandas de cerveja entre as 6h e as 21h, e dentro dos horários previstos os anúncios deveriam ter a informação de que "o consumo de bebidas alcoólicas provoca dependência química e psicológica". A decisão não é definitiva e ainda cabe apelação. Após um estudo realizado na Câmara, apurou-se que dos 513 parlamentares, 87 (16,96%) estão ligados a empresas com interesses contrários à regulamentação da publicidade de cerveja.[4]
