About Guinness (Haiti)
The Guinness sold in Haiti is bottled and distributed by BRANA, not imported ready-made, and at 7.6 per cent alcohol it is the foreign extra stout strength rather than the draught most drinkers elsewhere know. BRANA says it holds the Haitian product to the same standards as the global brand. The name is not BRANA's: Diageo owns it, and BRANA makes and sells the beer under licence in one country.
