Cervejaria Dogma

Top choice in São Paulo

LoginSave

Dogma routinely dominates the top 10 ranked beers in Brazil on Untappd, and this no-frills taproom near Santa Cecília metro station is Sampa's best microbrewery by a considerable margin – especially for hopheads. You can count on the 20 taps here including plenty of strong IPAs, imperial stouts and so on. Choices marked 'local' are brewery exclusive.

You must pay for each beer as you go, which is bit of a buzzkill, but you can pay in advance to avoid a dozen transactions. There's no food – but a food truck parks in front nightly. Saúde!
