Guinness Nigeria
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Guinness Nigeria plc is a Nigerian brewery founded in 1962. Guinness and Unilever are the main shareholders, although some of the shares are owned locally.
The main beer is Foreign Extra Stout (7.5% ABV). This is now brewed under license from Guinness, using a concentrate sent from Dublin which is dark stout with the water removed. It is then blended with a local pale beer. Nigeria is the third largest and fastest-growing Guinness market in the world. The sweeter taste of this offering is often said to be a result of the sorghum used as a part of the recipe.
Foreign Extra Stout ("Nigerian Guinness") is occasionally available from off-licenses and supermarkets in the UK. The flavour is more intense than that of the conventional stout, and the increased alcoholic strength is also noticeable.
