Cervejaria Dádiva

Women are still a rare sight in the beer industry. If you look at the teams at well-known breweries, you'll only find women behind the desk, but hardly ever in the brewhouse. Brewing is traditionally a man's job, and not just in conservative Bavaria. There are now female master brewers, but they are few and far between and the business is still the domain of the men of creation. But change has already begun: breweries like Emma - Biere ohne Bart , Gebrouwen Door Vrouwen and Holla die Bierfee work day in and day out to change the status quo. Luiza Luigi Tolosa has also been on board since 2014: the Brazilian is the founder of Cervecaria Dádiva and a pioneer in her field.

Under the wings of the dragonfly

Their company is a small microbrewery that Luiza set up together with her business partner Victor Pereira Marinho. Victor is a master brewer and has been at Luiza's side from the start. The dynamic duo brews their fantastic beer creations in the beautiful city of São Paulo and opened the doors of their own brewery on February 27, 2014. The Portuguese word Dádiva can be translated as gift, offering or blessing and, together with the dragonfly, the brewery's heraldic animal, symbolizes lightness and joy. Luiza and Victor want to share the joy of enjoyment and their passion for handmade beer with the world. They want to spread the word about good Brazilian beer to other countries and take bold steps in new directions. As a woman at the head of a brewery, Luiza is a role model for many of her compatriots and an absolute pioneer.

A colorful selection

The range of the two is a combination of light-footed and intense, strong and mild, creative and classic brews. Each one is brewed by hand and with a select selection of the finest raw materials. The aim of the brewery is to reinvent traditional classics with innovative ingredients. The beers from Cevejaria Dádiva are handcrafted and often contain more unconventional raw materials in addition to water, hops, malt and yeast. With a lot of fun experimenting, the team has developed brews that contain fruit or spices, for example, or are brewed with wood. Many of their beers are created in cooperation with other breweries or people from other industries, so that new, fresh ideas are always flowing into the variety of flavors of the beers.
