Notes

A classic wheat beer brewed for my friend Cezinha as he swaps London pubs for Brazilian skies. Smooth, comforting, and full of character, this beer celebrates shared pints, good laughs, and the simple joy of spending time with someone who’s always great company. A beer for a true 'topapador'.
