Winter is over, but Campos do Jordão continues to offer good programs this early spring, such as the Sabores e Cervejas da Mantiqueira festival, which runs until October 30 and brings together restaurants and good breweries in the mountain town for the third consecutive year.
Like last year, the five participating breweries are Baden Baden, Campos do Jordão, Caras de Malte, Gard and Vemaguet. The restaurants that are part of the new season of the project serve dishes that harmonize with the labels of one of the brands — in some cases, beer is also used in the preparation.
Among the suggestions are the filet mignon with cream and Gard’s pilsen beer, at Dois Rios Restaurant; Gard also owns the label that pairs with Bassi ancho with tropeiro beans and grilled vegetables, at Dona Chica, a restaurant inside Horto Florestal.
The Caras de Malte brewery offers a smoked termite with the house’s Belgian dark strong ale sauce, served with smoked vegetables and grilled pineapple; the same beer is indicated to accompany the dish.
The festival includes some special programs, such as the 4th Oktoberfest at the Esquina do Djalma bar, on October 8, on the busiest street in Capivari, and with Caras de Malte beers and a typical band — the ticket costs R$250.
On 10/15, Elio Cucina Speciale prepares a four-course lunch, with each dish paired with one of Baden Baden’s four main styles (reservations by phone 12-99663-8888).
Another highlight is Lunch at the Waterfall, at Fazenda Gravatá (inside Horto). There will be five stages prepared in the parrilla, harmonizing with Gard’s always inviting labels (reservations at 12-99714-0019. By the way, those who want to enjoy it, can visit the brewery, hidden in Horto itself.
Near the end of the festival, on 10/29, the winner of the Brau Akademie Pot Brewer Master contest will be revealed, which had 190 amateur brewers registered. The award takes place at the Play Pub brewery, by the Campos do Jordão brand.
