Brazil in general trailed the USA in the home-brew global community, but once they got started they became very strong.
Curitiba, generally known as the "tech capital" of Brazil, developed an amazingly large number of home brewers and micro-breweries in a short period of time after it got started.
The four beers that we have at any one time in the hotel are only four of the 29 craft brews on draft at Hop'n Roll (along with even more bottled craft beers), and of course there are other brew-pubs and micro-breweries scattered around the city.
