Opa Bier German Lager

Opa Bier is a prominent brewery located in Joinville, Santa Catarina, Brazil. Founded in 2006, the brand was created to rescue the historical brewing tradition of the city, which dates back to the mid-19th century and was largely influenced by German, Swiss, and Norwegian immigrants. The name 'Opa' translates to 'Grandfather' in German, serving as a tribute to the ancestors who brought the brewing craft to the region.

The brewery is a production unit of the Incasa S.A. group, a chemical industry company that has been established in Joinville since 1954. Since its inception, Opa Bier has expanded significantly from a local microbrewery to a large-scale producer with high-tech automated facilities. It produces a wide variety of labels including lagers, wheat beers, and IPAs, many of which follow traditional purity standards. The brand remains deeply rooted in Joinville, with its primary manufacturing plant located in the district of Pirabeiraba.
