Carlsberg: Fonio
Carlsberg, in partnership with Brooklyn Brewery, tapped into the drought-resistant Fonio grain to explore the future of sustainable brewing. This ancient grain has been a saviour for West African communities, who’ve cultivated it for centuries. Using groundbreaking techniques, Carlsberg brewed a barley-free beer with apricot, peach, and melon notes, delivering a crisp, balanced finish. To mark this momentous occasion, we commissioned Cameroonian artist Kevin Bongang to produce an artwork that celebrates both Fonio’s significance and his African roots, turning each label into a collectable piece of modern African art.
No ones ever seen a beer look like this. No ones ever tasted a beer like this. It’s just wild!"

Being born in Cameroon, paying homage to my West African roots is something very dear to me."
