The production of craft beers has grown, in this scenario the addition of plants with antioxidant potential is an alternative to increase the stability of the products. Pepper popularly known as “dedo-de-moça” (Capsicum baccatum) is commercialized and showed antioxidant potencial. In this scenario, craft beer was produced with the addition of 0.1% (m/v) dedo-de-moça pepper (CCP) and beer produced by the same method without the addition of pepper (CSP). The parameters pH, color, alcohol content, antioxidant potential and compound content were evaluated. With the exception of color, whose mean value was equal for CCP and CSP, all other parameters showed significant differences between CCP and CSP with p <0.05. CCP presented a higher concentration of ethanol, with an alcohol content of 5.58 ± 0.17%, while CSP presented 5.00 ± 0.09% and also a higher content of phenolic compounds and antioxidant potential. The results indicate that there is a positive perspective for the use of “dedo-de-moça” pepper in the production of beers.  In this sense,  is necessary to analyze the sensory and stability of the product during storage.
