Telli and Mack Brewery Bring Fonio Beer to Bukta festival 2026

We are proud to announce that Telli has partnered with Mack Brewery and Bukta festival to introduce a unique fonio-based festival beer.

For this year's Bukta festival, Mack Brewery has replaced wheat with fonio, an ancient grain from West Africa known for its sustainability and rich cultural heritage. The result is a special festival beer that will only be available at Bukta festival.

The fonio used in the beer is sourced through Telli from the Fouta Djallon highlands in Guinea, where approximately 1,400 smallholder farmers cultivate the grain. Through our traceability and sourcing efforts, we work to support sustainable agriculture, fair trade practices, and long-term opportunities for farming communities.

This collaboration highlights how traditional crops can contribute to innovative food and beverage products while creating positive social impact.

Festival visitors will have the opportunity to taste the beer at Bukta festival this summer.
