BOHEMIA is considered the first beer from Brazil: a beer of the highest quality, made with imported ingredients and an exclusive master brewer who has dedicated himself to the alchemy of this original recipe for over 160 years to transform the raw material into a masterpiece.
The BOHEMIA beer brand was founded in February 1853 in the city of Petrópolis, a mountainous region in the state of Rio de Janeiro, by German immigrant Henrique Kremer. When it was founded, BOHEMIA had all the characteristics of small, typically German breweries, including in terms of quality.
The beer soon became famous in the region for its flavour and high quality and became one of the most popular beers at the court of Emperor Dom Pedro II. Over the years, the beer adapted to the tastes of Brazilian consumers and took on the characteristics of other existing brands: slightly mild and less bitter, to achieve the traditional quality standard of today.
