About Guinness (Seychelles)

Guinness sold in the Seychelles is brewed and bottled at Le Rocher rather than shipped in, and in the year to June 2025 it was the only beer in the brewery's range to grow. Diageo owned the brewery until 1 July 2025 and, on selling control, kept ownership of its own brands: the Guinness made in the Seychelles now runs on a long-term licence instead of inside a subsidiary. The name has never been the brewery's.
