"BEER EXPLAINS! A Bar Therapy" is an original audiovisual production in the format of a documentary series. An unprecedented entertainment program, hosted by two women – a beer expert and a great enthusiast – who travel through different cities, exploring their vocations and experiencing unusual cultural, tourist and gastronomic itineraries. Beer connecting people and proposing topics in a manner you have never seen before.
Beer is an ancient drink – one of the oldest and most popular in the history of humanity – and presents more than 150 different styles that can be enjoyed in surprising gastronomic pairings. Even so, there are strong stigmas associated with beers. From the alcoholic beverage consumed enormously, made by men for men, to the limitations in gastronomy. It is time to deconstruct these stigmas, encouraging inclusion and inviting people to consume beer healthily and intelligently.
Each episode features a city and a guest. In a relaxed "bar therapy" atmosphere, we learn about the history, personality traits and gastronomic preferences of the guest. Based on this context, the expert presents a beer style to reveal as her translation in liquid form.
Watch the episodes and have fun learning about the vast culture of beers and its philosophical contours.
Bruxas, Santas e Cervejeiras
Nossa camisa dez da cerveja Cilene Saorin e a nossa meio de campo do entusiasmo Laíza Dantas desembarcam em Várzea Paulista para provar que foram as mulheres que pioneiramente produziram cervejas e que, por isso, foram jogadas para escanteio e queimadas em fogueiras ao longo da história. No bar da Marta, em frente a um campo de várzea, junto de nossa convidada e treinadora de futebol feminino Gerlândia de Oliveira, as meninas rolam a bola trazendo bruxas, santas e cervejeiras para o jogo. Parece até o episódio final, mas isso é só o início da temporada!
