Bicho wins Silver

Bicho do Mato, the beer created by chef Ljubomir Stanisic in partnership with Cerveja Letra, has just been awarded a Silver medal at the Concours International de Lyon (CIL).

Launched in early 2019 and already in its second edition, with a special label, by Hélio Falcão, this Imperial IPA (India Pale Ale) combines the chef’s favorite spice, ras el hanout (which is a mix of several others, of Moroccan origin), and the American hops Mosaic, Citra and Summit, resulting in a full-bodied, robust, balanced and even unusual beer, with a citrus and tropical aroma – a reflection of Ljubo’s character

In this year’s edition of CIL, a prestigious contest that recognizes the best wines, spirits and beers in the world, a total of 7700 products competed, evaluated by an international panel of 850 judges. Bicho do Mato was one of more than 1000 beers in the competition, winning the Silver Medal (one of the four prizes that Cerveja Letra managed to take home, winning two silver medals and two gold medals).

Produced in small batches (this second edition had only 2505 bottles), Bicho do Mato is available for purchase at Cerveja Letra online store, and until the end of May the brand is offering 2 units of Bicho do Mato to those who buy at least 12 units, using the code BICHODOMATO. A 100% natural but also 100% special beer, now even easier to taste.
