We planted barley in the same soil that grow our greatest players to create a special edition of Brahma beer.

After 60 years, Brazil hosts the FIFA World Cup once more. The entire country wears green and yellow. And because every brand decides to do the same, Brahma, the official beer sponsor of Brazil national team, decided to show that its passion was much more than talk. It was in its essence.

We created the first beer with barley planted, grown and harvested at the Training Center of Brazil’s national soccer team: Granja Comary.  A limited edition comes to life from this sacred soil, with the history of our team as its main ingredient. For five months, the barley’s plantation served as the brand showcase.

Our official website has become the hub of project, so fans could follow the story closer: day by day, grain by grain.

In addition, we promoted people's interaction with the barley plantation. And a lot of content provided by beer and football specialists. 

This project began in July 2013 and was launched in February 2014. It involved many contributors: from the agronomist, InBev master brewer, to the coach Luis Felipe Scolari - Ambassador of the project.

The project was launched with a video detailing the entire project. The video had more than 3 million views in less than 1 month. Each new step of the project opened up more content at the campaign website:

• The story behind Granja Comary.

• A planting timeline in real time.

• The team involved.

• And the type of barley grown.

To involve people in our project, historic goals selected at social networks became music that would help the barley grow. On the website diary, we included some special content in images, videos and interviews with our beer and soccer specialist.

There were more than 2.6 million visitors and 150.000 shares related to the project. When the product hit the shelves, the campaign took over the national and global media.
