September\/2013<\/h2>\n
Londrina hosted the Setembeer Fest, it was the second Festival organized by PROCERVA in the country side of Paran\u00e1. It was very funny and a lot of new people were introduced to the craft beer world.<\/p>\n
August\/2013<\/h2>\n
Cascavel (a city in the interior of the state of Paran\u00e1, which Curitiba is the capital) hosted the I Festival de Cervejas Especiais da PROCERVA (PROCERVA Craft Beer Festival), we brought 50 liters of Petroleum and it was over fast, people were curious about the black gold. Other beers from PROCERVA associates were over before the end of the event as well.
\nWe also served our beers at the Mundo Gastronomico (Gastronomic World) with other breweries from PROCERVA (the Microbrewery Association from Paran\u00e1 state). It happened in the pavilion at Parque Barigu in Curitiba.
\nA party to release our beers in Rio de Janeiro was hosted by Boteco Colarinho.<\/p>\n

We started to produce our second commercial beer, Jan Kubis an American Pale Lager with 5,3% ABV and 53 IBU. Jan Kubis was released at DUM DAY III.

After 8 months, our registries were approved to produce our beers at Gauden Bier.
\nWith the registries, we started to brew our beers in Gauden Bier\u2019s 2500 liter equipment. The first Petroleum was produced there to be released at DUM DAY III.<\/p>\n
March\/2013<\/h2>\n
Petroleum was the most mentioned beer for the second time in the panel Roberto Fonseca organizes in the newspaper Estado de S\u00e3o Paulo. This fact made us very proud, because the brazilian scenario changed a lot, but the people still remember the black liquid which doesn\u2019t allow light to cross it.
\nWe served Petroleum again at the Festival Nacional da Cerveja. This time, we had to do that outsite of the Festival because they didn\u2019t allow to have homemade beers inside the Festival anymore. We also saw our friends and met new ones, this Festival is awesome!<\/p>\n
October\/2012<\/h2>\n
We submitted our beer registries to MAPA (the government department responsible for this kind of registry) with Gauden Bier to produce our beers there. The stock of W\u00e4ls Petroleum doesn\u2019t stop on the shelves, so we had to open a new front to try to kill the brazilian thirst for the black gold liquid.<\/p>\n
August\/2012<\/h2>\n
A comparison between W\u00e4ls Petroleum and the homemade version was done by Mestre-Cervejeiro.com. We talked a little about our plans to open a brewpub in Curitiba, which is not viable for various reasons that we can\u2019t do anything about.<\/p>\n
July\/2012<\/h2>\n
In our second anniversary, DUMDAY II, we prepared a better party held at Hop\u2019n Roll. It was a party for 450 people with more than 40 different beers. After that, our party entered in the Curitiba\u2019s craft beer calendar as a festival of rare beers.<\/p>\n
June\/2012<\/h2>\n
We went to the VII Concurso Nacional das ACervAs (The National Homebrewers Competition) in Piracicaba. There we met John Palmer, author of the book How to Brew, who tasted Petroleum and liked it a lot. He was one more to stimulate us to produce our beers in a commercial scale. We also got a bronze medal in the Russian Imperial Stout style with the homemade version of Petroleum, getting the scores 43, 41 e 37.<\/p>\n
May\/2012<\/h2>\n
Another article was published in the VIP magazine and W\u00e4ls Petroleum was there, it consolidates the legend created over this recipe.
\nWe went to the 3rd anniversary of P\u00e3o e Cerveja in the Pra\u00e7a dos Quatro Elementos in Nova Lima, in the metropolitan region of Belo Horinzonte. We participated on the live program a talking about the whole W\u00e4ls Petroleum story. It was a day in the history for Brazilian Craft Beer. After the party, we went to the Chiari Salumeria, a must visit place if you ever go to Belo Horizonte.<\/p>\n
March\/2012<\/h2>\n
We did an ad for the release of W\u00e4ls Petroleum in Belo Horizonte at Stadt Jever, the oficial W\u00e4ls Pub at Belo Horizonte.
\nOn March 15th, the first mugs of W\u00e4ls Petroleum was served to the public which loved the beer and finished all the kegs in the pub. It was an breathtaking start for us.
\nThe release party of W\u00e4ls Petroleum in Curitiba was March 21st. One 50 liter keg and 15 boxes (with 12 bottles each) came from Belo Horizonte for this day. In 100 minutes, everything was gone. It was even more breathtaking for us.
\nTwo days later, we went to Blumenau to another edition of Festival Nacional da Cerveja, at that time we had another experiment with Petroleum. We fermented the same wort with 4 different yeast strains: S-04 (the original), Edinburg, London ESB and Pilsner Urquell, the public decided to maintain the original yeast and we keep it. With the first batch of W\u00e4ls Petroleum we received a gold medal in the Russian Imperial Stout style in the South Beer Cup Competition.
\nThe 3\u00ba Beer Day happened in Curitiba, it was very funny and the crowd drank W\u00e4ls Petroleum like there was no tomorrow. We didn\u2019t have the homemade Petroleum, because of the Festival Nacional da Cerveja, but we had other beers like Grand Cru, Ciro Silva and Carlos IV. The public\u2019s response was very positive for these new beers. At this festival we met a guy who would change our future months later, Ronaldo Flor, one of the owners of Gauden Bier, the brewery which we contract to produce our beers.<\/p>\n
February\/2012<\/h2>\n
The journalist Roberto Fonseca, from Estado de S\u00e3o Paulo, did a panel with people from the Brazilian Craft Beer Scene and Petroleum was the most mentioned beer in the panel. We are very proud about that, and it stimulates us to continue to focus on our dream to have our own brewery.
\nWe also released a series of videos recorded on the day of the first mashing of Petroleum at W\u00e4ls with all the people were that there.<\/p>\n
January\/2012<\/h2>\n
Our dream comes true. The first batch of W\u00e4ls Petroleum was made on the last week of the January. That day was unforgettable for us and for W\u00e4ls. We met a lot of friends in Belo Horizonte, a city famous for its hospitality.
\nOn January 26th, the newspaper Metro in Curitiba published an article talking about the beers made in the city. The article said the Curitiba was becoming the Brazilian Craft Beer Capital, perhaps it is overrated citation, but you can\u2019t talk about the Brazilian Craft Beer Scene without talking about Curitiba.<\/p>\n
December\/2011<\/h2>\n
The second edition of Semana Beneficente da Cerveja Artesanal (Craft Beer Charity Week) happened. It was a great success, just like the first edition. We did an auction during the soft opening of Hop\u2019n Roll (a craft beer bar in Curitiba) that raised almost R$ 2300. This money helped the Natal do Adelar and the Associa\u00e7\u00e3o Feminina de Prote\u00e7\u00e3o \u00e0 Maternidade e Inf\u00e2ncia (a charity association to help little children and mothers).<\/p>\n
November\/2011<\/h2>\n
We had the honour of meeting Jon maddog Hall, he visited our home brewery and we had a barbecue for him. It was so much fun and he recorded a video at DUM talking about the craft beer universe. Wise words from this great guy from the Linux world and who has been brewing for at least 20 years. This day was a mark in our history, our beer was tasted and approved by him.
\nWe exposed our beers at the Festival Nacional da Cerveja in Blumenau, where we met Pete Slosberg, a beer and chocolate wizard, who was impressed by Petroleum and gave us some hot tips on how to improve it. We also had a meeting with the W\u00e4ls family to define the last details and to agree on the date for the first Petroleum batch at W\u00e4ls, January 2012. At the festival we had four different Petroleum versions with different levels of cocoa, there are still some bottles hidden with some friends. We also brought our first Yeast Wars, we got half of the wort from our APA, John Wayne, and fermented it with Pilsner Urquell yeast. At that moment was created Jan Kubis, our second commercial recipe.<\/p>\n
October\/2011<\/h2>\n
At another beer festival, Wikibier, Petroleum was our star as well, the public didn\u2019t know the beer so well yet yet and the passion for Petroleum started at that very moment. During the party Jos\u00e9 Felipe from W\u00e4ls made us the official invitation to produce Petroleum at W\u00e4ls. At that moment, we were entering the W\u00e4ls family, as they like to say.<\/p>\n
September\/2011<\/h2>\n
We debut in our first Beer Festival, the Curitiba Homebrewers Fest. We served 5 beers: John Wayne, Petroleum (which disapeared in less than one hour), Moules, APU e D\u2019\u00e1bel. Mid afternoon, all of our beers were gone.<\/p>\n
July\/2011<\/h2>\n
We sent our beer to the VI Concurso Nacional das ACervAs (the national homebrewer competition) in Florianpolis. We reached the finals with our Rauchbier, but we didn\u2019t get any medals. Anyhow it was so much fun and we met a great guy in the craft beer scene, the author of Radical Brewing, Randy Mosher. He even recorded a video wirh him tasting our beers and the Morada\u2019s beers. At the end of the movie, he gave us his perspective of the brazilian craft beer market. During the party to announce the winners of the contest, Murilo gave an interview to Fabiana Arreguy from P\u00e3o e Cerveja (Bread and Beer, a radio program which talks about the craft beer scene and give tips about beer) where he asked for a place to commercially produce Petroleum in industrial scale.
\nOn July 20th, we celebrated our first anniversary, the DUM DAY I. We held a party at Cervejaria da Vila, one of our favorite watering holes in Curitiba. We expected about 50 people but 250 show up! To this day we still apologize to people went out there and has to give up. It was so much more than what we had prepared for. It was thought but those who had patience were rewarded.<\/p>\n
May\/2011<\/h2>\n
We brewed the first double mashed beer we heard of so far, with our friends from JunkaBeer, which also went commercial and is now called Morada Cia Etilica. The result was the barley wine APU in Vienna, a \u201cmix\u201d of our APU with the Double Vienna from our friends Andr\u00e9 Junqueira e Fernanda Lazzari. We still have some bottles hidden from ourselves for special occasions.<\/p>\n
March\/2011<\/h2>\n
DUM was mentioned in an article about the craft beer scene in the Revista Vip (a magazine with national distribution).<\/p>\n
February\/2011<\/h2>\n
Were participated in the 2\u00ba Beer Day, a festival that took place in the parking lot of the old Mestre Cervejeiro store, now called Templo da Cerveja. Two different versions of Petroleum were served, one with cocoa powder and another with chocolate. Our goal was to choose which one the public enjoyed the most. The chosen Petroleum was the one with cocoa powder. The sun was shinning so hard in Curitiba that day, that people got sun burnt and it was funny to meet them the next week with marks from sun glasses and watches. In only a few hours of event we were all out of beers.<\/p>\n
December\/2010<\/h2>\n
The first Semana Beneficente da Cerveja Artesanal (Craft Beer Charity Week) was organized by us. The breweries contributed with beers that were sold in pubs all over Curitiba. The money raised from the beer sales was all donated to Natal do Adelar (Adelar\u2019s Christmas, an organisation that holds a huge chiristmas party where food and toys are given too poor children and thier familiies).<\/p>\n
November\/2010<\/h2>\n
We served our beers at the Festival Brasileiro da Cerveja (Brazillian Beer Festival) in 2010, Petroleum was there and we met a lot of people from the beer scene because of our oil: Marcelo Carneiro, Juliano Mendes, Stephen Beamount, among others. At this time, the beer thing started to get a bit more serious, it wasn\u2019t the intetion but it started to take a turn. In this festival Jos\u00e9 Felipe from W\u00e4ls met Petroleum and took some bottles home.<\/p>\n
July\/2010<\/h2>\n
DUM Cervejaria is created in Curitiba in Murilo\u2019s backyard. The 117 liter pots were bought and John Wayne, our first beer was brewed.
\nThe first Petroleum was made in the legendary 24 hour mash. It was our second recipe, we overdid the amount of malt s \u201ca little\u201d and it took 12 hours just to filter.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
DUM Brewery was born in 2010 as a home brewing project and it\u2019s main goal was to provide good and unique beers to the owners.
