Primo Schincariol is a South American brewery and beverage maker based in Brazil. As of 2004, Schincariol became the largest Brazilian owned brewery, gaining this title after Ambev (Brahma e Antarctica) merged with the Belgian Interbrew, becoming Inbev, now a Belgian owned company.

There are eight Schincariol breweries around Brazil, being the headquarters situated at the city of Itu, state of São Paulo. The company produces about 2,5 billion litters of beer a year, and exports its products to the Mercosul, Europe, United States and Asia. By 2005, it had 14% of the beer market share in Brazil.

[edit] Beers

The brewery uses the brand names Nova Schin, Glacial and Primus. The "cerveja" (beer, in Portuguese) Nova Schin Pilsen is Schincariol's main product in the hot Brazilian beer market. They also make the Primus, a premium beer made with hops from Hallertau, Germany, and the Glacial, a lighter and cheaper beer.

The NS2 (Nova Schin 2), a beer with tequila and lemon, is the first and only of its kind ever brewed in Brazil. The Nova Schin Malzbier (a black and sweeter beer), Nova Schin Munich (a light darker beer), the non-alcoholic Nova Schin and the Brazilian popular, the Nova Schin Chopp (a lighter and fresher beer that comes in barrels, similar to Pilsner) are the other varieties brewed by the Schincariol family.
