They’re nuts about real ale in Brazil… and if you’re a UK brewer, this means a great export opportunity!

The Dept of Trade and Industry are offering a contract for craft brewers to send their beer to South America, as a Brazilian beer importer seeks to cash in on the growing demand for real ale there.

The Department says that the Brazilian company behind the contract already imports from the UK and has a very large distribution networking in Brazil.

The value of the contract is said to be “under £100,000” and the closing date for applications is July 30 – so brewers need to move NOW.
