Guinness Fonio Stout Honors African Heritage And Irish Tradition

Guinness and Brooklyn Brewery have launched Guinness Fonio Stout, a limited-edition beer brewed in support of the Brewing for Impact campaign, a collaborative initiative inspired by Brooklyn Brewery Brewmaster Garrett Oliver’s pioneering work with ancient West African grain fonio. This beer celebrates the rich global history of Guinness, blending their Irish heritage with the vibrancy of West African culture
“Fonio Stout is an example of the magic that comes from blending the right amount of heritage and innovation, and we’re thrilled about how this collaborative brew has captured the best of both Guinness and Brooklyn Brewery,” said Joyce He, Guinness Brand Director. “Bringing our brewers together with Garrett Oliver and artist Kervin Brisseaux is a celebration that represents our commitment to pushing boundaries of creativity in brewing and cultivating social impact on a global level.”
Designed by Haitian American artist Kervin Brisseaux, the beer’s packaging celebrates Guinness’s centuries-long history in Africa, blended with the cultural heartbeats of Brooklyn.
