A new brand of Handcrafted Beer aspires to be born.
It's called DIVA and need your support to make the dream come true.
The idea
This project was born in the summer of 2014, when I decided to acquire an initiation kit and get "hands-on". The curiosity was great, but the passion quickly became greater. The first productions and the opinions of friends gave me the encouragement I needed to decide to move forward with this project, after 3 years, after having gained more knowledge and passed to the stage of grain production (yes, it gives me joy). I baptized the beer I produce as "DIVA" because I want it to be a different beer from the others and stand out. It was thus my mission to produce a craft beer each time with more quality and different from those currently on the market.
My current production has as its sole objective the improvement of the process, the research and development of differentiating beers, and the own consumption, with family and friends. At this moment I produce 3 types of beer:
Wheat (suitable for hot days, it's a soft, fruity beer with a plentiful and persistent lather!)
Extra Stout (a true Irish Stout, roasted with a touch of coffee and full-bodied)
Pilsner (golden color and a wonderful flowering flavor to true Saaz hops).
Distribution and commercialization
Since I am not yet formally constituted as a company, I have made my products known mainly through the conviviality with family and friends, dissemination in the facebook channel and on the website.
As far as distribution for retailers is concerned, I have made some contacts in my area and they have shown a lot of interest in being my partners. It is my aim to exploit this opportunity in the short term and Crowdfunding would certainly boost my ability and stabilize production methods.
About the author
40-year-old, Óscar Gomes, a native of Liceia, Montemor-o-Velho municipality, moved by the passion for beer and the love of the land that saw him born and grow is the creator of this project.
Since the first day in which it started to produce Artisanal Beer, it has acquired complementary technical skills, which makes it possible for the whole process related to the beer it produces to be ensured by it, from the preparation and fermentation to bottling and labeling, through graphic design and image , as well as all the logistics necessary to make DIVA® a solid and forward-looking project.
It states that Montemor-o-Velho, land of the tasty Sweet Rice made with Carolino do Baixo Mondego rice and Milk of Gândara, Rice of Lampreia, Pinhas de Montemor, Potatoes of Moado, Queijadas de Pereira, Queijadas de Tentúgal and the crispy and surprising Pastel of Tentúgal, have one more reference that its people can be proud and that is also to the liking of all the visitors.
DIVA® is not only a quality artisan beer, it is intended to be a reference beer that, by itself, can raise even more the name of the Village and Municipality of Montemor-o-Velho, beyond the top of its imposing Castle .
DIVA® Beer is currently a registered national brand, still to be marketed, looking to take the next step in the brewing business. For that, I need your unparalleled support.
Budget and due dates
At this stage, your support is essential. With the growing interest that has brought more and more curiosity, I need to take the next step in what concerns production. I want to work on new recipes, I want to produce more and better. I need pots and fermenters of greater capacity, among other types of material to be able to produce the best beer possible. I also have a great desire to reach the most diverse public establishments in order to be able to make known more and more my craft beer.
I do not want to ask you for just your money, but I want you to want to share my enthusiasm, traveling this way with me. All supporters will be entitled to public thanks to our social networks, regardless of the support they may provide. Plus: some prizes you can get are limited edition and personalized and are only available during the campaign. After the end of the same, if the goal is reached, I estimate that in two months, all the rewards will be allocated, with roughly half of this time corresponding to the natural fermentation process. All the amount raised will be invested 100% in this project.
I am counting on you to be able to reach you!
