This place is a stand located on the first floor of a big shopping center. Not much to say about the ambiance (women with big butts are walking around, though... if this can count as ambiance). Not much to say about the service since I didn’t ask for anything and my Portugese é péssimo (could be worse I suppose). I must say the women taking my bottles was nice, smiled at me and put the bottles in paper bags before putting them in my plastic bag. It could count as great service. I’m not sure. In terms of choice, they have a good offering of imported (from Belgium, UK and Germany mainly; some Brooklyns’ from the US) but I am mainly interested by local beers. They had the whole Eisenbahn and Colorado lineups but many others small artisanal breweries that I haven’t seen before. Though, the price are really expensive; this is something common here in Brazil but still... 9$US for a Colorado 500ml-bottle when I could see them last year at the supermarket for half that price... It’s still better than nothing. I might return but the prices will surely limit my ability to buy as much as I would like to. Costi Bebidas has better prices but it’s more complicated to go there. Well, hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die. Think about it. ಠ_ಠ
