Bars with cheap beer, options in the center

Did you know that Brazilians are the top 3 in the world in beer consumption? It's true. And this is one of the main reasons why they look for bars with cheap beer so they can enjoy themselves and have fun with friends.

A survey by Euromonitor showed that Brazil is the third largest beer consumer market in the world, behind only China and the United States.

Another interesting fact about beer is that it is now considered the third most consumed drink in the world, behind only water and coffee.

However, during the pandemic, especially in 2020, surveys showed that due to the high level of stress experienced by Brazilians, few of us in the world increased our consumption of the drink.

For example, Americans drank 3.4% less and the Chinese consumed 9% less beer than in 2019. Worldwide, in fact, there was an average 12% drop in sales.

In Brazil, last year, consumption broke a record, being the highest in the last six years. Only in 2014, when the country hosted the World Cup, did Brazilians consume more beer. That explains it, right?

In absolute numbers, in 2020, Brazilians consumed 13.3 billion liters of the drink.

The survey showed that, in addition to people drinking more – compared to the previous year – more people, who did not consume, started drinking beer .

To give you an idea, an adult in the country drank an average of 62.6 liters of beer in 2020. In 2019, 59.9 liters were consumed per person.

 

Accidental creation

And several studies on the drink point to different times and forms of its emergence. Despite this, they all point to its probably accidental emergence.

Some sources point to records from up to 9 thousand years BC about the cultivation of cereals that may have given rise to beer. This is because, according to researchers, the civilizations of the time fed basically on cereals.

With no place to store this material, it could have gotten wet and fermented: and this is exactly how beer is produced: with malt, barley and hops fermented in water.

Little by little, man began to understand the fermentation process and developed techniques for producing the drink.

Therefore, today it is possible to enjoy drinks with a milder, more intense flavor, with different combinations and types of cereals and mixtures with fruity aromas and various other flavors.

And there's nothing better than enjoying a good, cold beer at a fair price, right? Before we show you a list of the best bars with cheap beer in downtown São Paulo, just one more interesting fact:

Do you know where the name beer came from? Everything indicates that it derives from the word “cerevisia”, in homage to the Roman goddess Ceres , associated with fertility (mainly agriculture, plants and various grains). The name of this goddess also gave rise to the word “cereals”.

Let's go to the list:
