Cervejaria Eisenbahn

Santa Catarina


Though the craft beer movement has de-throned Eisenbahn as the best and most famous artisanal Brazilian beer, this long-standing brewery has stepped up its game since being acquired by Schincariol, remodeling the formerly lame brewpub into a comfortable diner-like drinking den with a great outdoor patio.

The taproom features 15 beers (four on draft). The best way to get there is a R$17 or so Uber.
