Speaking to Y fm after the official launch on Thursday, June 23 2021, at the Golden Bean Hotel, Kumasi, the Head of Innovations of Guinness Ghana Limited, Mr. Benjamin Fenyi-Gyesi, talked about what informed the product. He said, ” As a buiness, we believe that ahead of every innovation we need to undergo some level of research so we did a research on this and one of the insights was that a lot of Ghanaian consumers are in duress from the economic hardship and everything going on. We appreciate that in the midst of the chaos and hardship, people still need to stay true to what they hold dear… one of the things people hold dear is life.”
