Fonio Rising - Brooklyn Brewery
16oz. ALC 6.4%.Brooklyn Brewery's Brewmaster Garrett Oliver began brewing with the uniquely flavorful and nutritious Fonio grain in 2019, recognizing its potential in beer after being inspired by Senegalese Chef Pierre Thiam's TED Talk on the ancient millet grain and his mission to bring underutilized African ingredients to global tables. This year, Fonio was a part of the United Nation's declaration that 2023 is the "International Year of Millets."Now, Brooklyn Brewery is proud to continue partnering with Yolélé to bring awareness of Fonio worldwide. We brewed this fresh Double Pilsner with robust flavor and notes of tropical fruit because together, we believe Fonio is the grain of the past and the future.

Never had West African food before but after hearing a great deal about this place, I was very curious to check it out a few weeks ago. Located inside The Hugh which is a really nice food court with ample seating both regular and almost auditorium style that is easy to get to right next to the E, F, and 6 stop on Lexington Ave and 53rd street, the court certainly impresses walking in and seeing a variety of food options.

Teranaga's staff was nice as I made...

Mom & Mal were exceptional with their service and support. The food was amazing and so was their kindness. As a vegan I was not only hype to eat food from the motherland, but to have a healthy, hearty and VEGAN meal. The Ancient Vegan Bowl was AMAZIN!!!

Fantastic West African food spot nestled in a food hall with lots of places to sit. The food was absolutely incredible. Expect a bit of a kick, but the Chicken Suya with mango salad and sweet plantains is to die for. It’s also well priced! I got my bowl and a drink for like $20.

The mint limeade is like a sweet twist okay those super juices with protein and fiber and all, but like actually delicious? Can’t wait to show more people this spot.
