Pomerode, a city nestled in Santa Catarina's European Valley, is known by many as 'the most German town in Brazil.' With a population of approximately 34,000, the town maintains a tranquil atmosphere surrounded by greenery and dispersed neighborhoods, away from the bustling central area. This peaceful environment undergoes a transformation at the local Biergarten Pomerânia, where the calm is replaced with the vibrant spirit of German beer festivities, reminiscent of Munich, the home of Oktoberfest, which hosts the largest beer celebration in the world each year.

Occupying a historic house listed since 1945, the Biergarten Pomerânia lives up to its name, boasting a generous backyard that has recently been expanded—an excellent addition given the sweltering heat of early 2026 in the region. Upon entering, visitors are greeted by staff dressed in traditional Oktoberfest attire, including lederhosen and shirts, creating an authentic German experience. This setting not only honors the cultural traditions of the German immigrants who settled in the region but also provides a lively atmosphere for tourists and locals alike.

The biergarten serves as a focal point for Pomerode's cultural identity, encapsulating the town's pride in its German roots while actively promoting social engagement among its residents and visitors. As the local economy benefits from tourism drawn by such festivities, the Biergarten Pomerânia becomes a symbol of cultural preservation and community celebration, inviting participation and enjoyment while ensuring that the German heritage remains vibrant and influential in Brazilian culture.
