Brazil now has 889 breweries officially registered with the authorities, the Portal Brasil reported on January 29.

Last year saw 210 new breweries open in the country, which represents an increase of 23% versus 2017, a report Anuario da Cerveja no Brasil by the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock, and Food Supply said.

There are currently 16,968 beer brands registered in Brazil, of which around 6.8 thousand were launched last year. According to the Ministry, the industry benefited by the increasing consumers’ demand for specialty beers.
