My Experience at the Cervejaria Amazon Beer
I went to see the Cervejaria Amazon Beer (Amazon Beer Brewery) on my first day in the city, I tried a lot of different flavors, I remember the açaí beer well, it was the most memorable flavor.
I went there with Milla, the same company from Ilha do Marajó, do you remember? To accompany the beer, we ordered a delicious portion of mini shrimp pastéis (pastries) with tucupi (in resume, tucpi is sauce extracted from wild manioc root), get to know what it is, and jambu, the herb that numbs the mouth.
