Fermi e As Cervejas Espaciais

What Fermi e As Cervejas Espaciais does

Fermi e As Cervejas Espaciais (legal entity: Cervejaria Fermi Ltda) is a privately held Brazilian craft brewery headquartered in Florianópolis, Santa Catarina, operating a direct-to-consumer e-commerce business at fermicervejas.com.br. The company was founded by three scientist-founders — Fermi, Caio, and Gabi — and sells experimental craft beers through themed 4-pack and 6-pack combo SKUs (R$166-R$253) plus a custom pack-builder tool, with supplemental revenue from branded merchandise, glassware, and craft beer books. Its brewing approach emphasizes high-end and unusual recipes — Hazy IPAs, Thiolized IPAs, Smoothie Sours, Fruited Goses, Imperial Stouts, and Barley Wines — using premium adjuncts (Phantasm, Tahiti vanilla, maple syrup, coconut milk), exotic Brazilian tropical fruits (cupuaçu, cajá, graviola, acerola), and cutting-edge New Zealand hop varieties (Riwaka, Nelson Sauvin, Strata), with ABVs reaching 12.8%.

The business runs on a Nuvemshop-hosted online storefront, supports multiple Brazilian payment methods (Pix, boleto, credit card installments via Nuvem Pago and PagBank), and ships nationwide via Azul Cargo, JadLog, Arlete Transportes, and Loggi. Free shipping is offered above R$399 to the South, Southeast, and Federal District. The go-to-market relies on Instagram (@fermicervejas), an email newsletter, and cookie-based retargeting; there are no physical retail locations or third-party distributors identified. The company maintains a steady cadence of monthly limited releases and co-branded collaborations with international breweries in the Netherlands (Dutch Bargain), Finland (Salama Brewing), and Argentina (ASTOR), and has won Gold at the 2019 Concurso Brasileiro da Cerveja (HALLEY HOPS) and the 2025 Untappd Awards (PANNA COTA). Ownership appears bootstrapped and founder-controlled, with no disclosed external funding rounds or institutional investors.
