Abstract

In mid-19^th-century Rio de Janeiro, an entertainment market emerged related to the establishment of a civil society that was diversifying socioeconomically. In order to broaden perspectives on that social dynamics, this study discusses the experience of one type of business that connected “industrial arts” with a supply of leisure alternatives: beer factories located in Rio’s central area. It is a history of the city based on one of its leisure activities.
