The new beer is brewed with fonio, a nutritious ancient West African grain
Global craft beer innovator Brooklyn Brewery launched Brooklyn Brewery x Yolélé Fonio White Beer, a distinctive craft beer brewed with fonio, a nutritious ancient West African grain that Yolélé has helped bring to the American masses. The limited release, which combines fonio’s nutty, wheaty character with juicy hops in a smooth riff on classic white beer (5.6 % ABV), will start rolling out at select Whole Foods Market stores throughout the Northeast. It will also be available to all beer enthusiasts and sustainability-minded customers in Brooklyn Brewery's Tasting Room.
Yolélé and Brooklyn Brewery share the goal of promoting a more viable future for food and beverage. The beer itself shines golden with the tiny blond grains, which are packed full of nutrients and health benefits, and underscores these companies' commitment to furthering sustainability through strategic ingredient-sourcing.
