Souvenirs are a double-edged sword. They're usually kitsch and serve little practical purpose. But they're also mementos that remind us of good times spent with family or friends. They evoke images of endless days on white sandy beaches, strolls through narrow Italian alleys, hikes across green pastures and rugged mountain peaks, canoe trips through Norwegian fjords, and moments of happiness, evoking sweet nostalgia in us. Brewery merchandise is also a kind of souvenir: a memento from a culinary destination that didn't even require us to get on a plane or drive.
The T-shirts from the Novo Brazil brewery combine a culinary theme with a real-life location and are a Californian-Brazilian greeting from afar that won't gather dust in a display case.
The Chula Vista-based brewery embraces the Brazilian spirit in its American homeland and has chosen the toucan as its emblem. The tropical bird with its striking beak adorns the brewery's logo and every one of its creations—including its brewery T-shirts. Our favorite model is the gray one, printed with a large, geometric toucan. It exudes pure summer joy, is extremely comfortable, and brings back vacation memories of paradisiacal beaches with palm trees, azure water, and coconuts with straws.
