FONIO RISING PALE ALE

Get Brooklyn Delivered

A hoppy pale ale bursting with tropical and passionfruit flavors

Featuring Fonio, an ancient super grain that supports smallholder farmers in Africa. Known as the “Seed of the Universe,” Fonio has thrived in West Africa for over 5,000 years — it requires no inputs, pesticides, fertilizers or irrigation — regenerating the land rather than stripping it.
