In early January 2020, nineteen people got contaminated with the toxic substances' Mono and Diethylene Glycol, from drinking local craft beer at Minas Gerais, southeastern Brazil. Among the injured, four died. While Brazilian Police investigate the poisoning case, the Ministry of Agriculture suspended production and recalled all products from the brewery, as preventive measures. Three are the hypotheses investigated by the Federal Police: leakage, sabotage, or malpractice, through the misuse of a related chemical known as mono and diethylene glycol. There is no case solution this far. Key findings pointed out contamination raising suspicion among craft-beer consumers in Brazil. Some of them have replaced the contaminated beer brands with other craft beer labels. Others are suspicious of the quality of the overall craft beers produced in Brazil. Others Analysis and discussion compile the present study. Keywords: Craft beer, brewing industry, Brazil.
