From Brazil Via Japan

If you know an adventuresome bottle shop or one that sells more than just a couple foreign beers, you should look for cans from Japas Cervejaria.

It is a “woman-run, Japanese-Brazilian brewery based in Brazil. Founded in 2015 by Maíra Kimura, Yumi Simada and Fernanda Ueno, each of their creations is the result of a dive into their ancestry. This amalgamation of beer and history is rich in aromas, flavors and culture, with recipes that celebrate the union between Brazil and Japan in a contemporary way, without clichés or pre-established ideas.”

The founders are touring the US, I don’t see any LA stops but we are marked as one of their markets.

While you root for the tri-color, you could choose to enjoy a nice pint of Bohemia. A 5.3 ABV German style pilsner from Cervecería Cuauhtémoc Moctezuma. Considering the lackluster choices like Corona or Sol, this is probably your best bet.
