Paralelo 12:27 is located about a fifteen minute walk from the hostel I stayed at, or if you prefer, a fifteen minute walk from São Paulo's famous Parque Ibirapuera. This estbalishment had an old-style flair I can't put a finger on, with a brick exterior, a patio, and old photos and beer memorabilia on the walls. The bar area is small, only enough to hold several people, but it was empty when I arrived after 5pm; I was helped immediately by a server, and that's all the service I needed for my quick stay.

I spotted a number of different glassware pieces for the 40-odd bottle selection and four "chopes"/drafts. Eisenbahn and Brahma on-tap, a mix of domestic and import beers in the bottle; spotted some Colorado, Weihenstephaner, Franziskaner, Therezópolis, Schmitt, Baden Baden, Leffe...the usual suspects of a BeerFly quality bar in São Paulo. I ended up grabbing a 600 ml bottle of Colorado Indica to refresh from the heat...nevermind, it wasn't even 72F that day in January I stopped here. But if you're the walking type who wants to walk to Ibirapuera from the Ana Rosa metrô station, this is worth a stop between the two points.
