JAPAS CERVEJARIA
Nipo-Brazilian brewers Maíra Kimura, Yumi Shimada and Fernanda Ueno are proving that beer has no gender and that women/femmes are capable of being successful in a male dominated industry. The brand’s name Japas is a reinterpretation of the term often used without permission or consent to describe Brazilians of Asian descent. Their bright and fruit-forward beers are delicious and come in cans that are beautifully designed.
