ALINE SMANIOTTO

holds a degree in Anthropology from UNICAMP, a Master’s degree in Social Anthropology, and a professional background that connects research, communication, market intelligence, and drinking and gastronomic culture. She specialized in Consumer Anthropology at ESPM, Market Intelligence and Research at Fundação Getulio Vargas (FGV), and is a Beer Sommelier certified by the Instituto da Cerveja Brasil.

For more than a decade, she has worked in the beverage and gastronomy sectors, developing projects that combine market analysis, consumer behavior, brand building, and live experiences. Her professional journey includes roles at Cervejaria Dádiva, Realli Insumos Cervejeiros, Startup Brewing, and Geest Destilaria, where she led initiatives in marketing, content, events, and strategic positioning.

Her work combines the rigor of anthropological research with a sensitive understanding of eating and drinking as cultural expressions. Aline investigates how consumption habits reveal identities, narratives, and forms of belonging, transforming data, trends, and field observation into creative and relevant projects for brands and audiences.

She is a co-founder of the Cerveja E.L.A. collective, co-author of the book Guia da Sommelieria de Cervejas, and author of articles on fermented beverages and the decolonization of taste. She also took part in the curation and production of Encontro Selvagem, an initiative dedicated to promoting the microbiological and cultural diversity of fermentation in Brazil.

Her perspective combines analytical depth and cultural sensitivity to translate what is most vibrant, complex, and meaningful in the world of beverages.
