Brahma is a Brazilian beer, originally made by the Companhia Cervejaria Brahma, which was founded in 1888. The brewery is currently owned by Anheuser-Busch InBev. In 1914, Brahma produced their national Malzbier. After that, the company began expanding internationally. The company bought the license for distribution of the Germania brand, which later was known as Guanabara, and was one of the earliest of the Brazilian beer brands.
An interfaith coalition is pressing the world's largest brewer to remove the name of a Hindu god (Brahma) from this beer brand.[3] Brahma is a beer produced primarily for the Brazilian domestic market. Brahma translates to Bull in Portuguese and as Anheuser Busch has already stated, has nothing to do at all with the Hindu religion.
