“We’re here to take over,” Conor McGregor announced when he launched his new venture, Forged Irish Stout. And once again, ‘Mystic Mac’ is proving himself right. Forged Irish Stout has taken the world by storm as it flew off the shelves after its launch. The frosty, dark beer continues to shatter records as the Irishman closes in on Michael Jordan as the richest sportsperson.
‘The Notorious’ launched his Forged Irish Stout last week and sold 1 million cans. Previously, the exquisite beer, brewed in the heart of Dublin, was only available at The Black Forge Inn. While his skills as a fighter or even coach have taken a hit lately, the Irish fighter’s business acumen is as sharp as ever. He entered into a deal with the off-license chain Carry Out to make the beer available nationwide. The former UFC champion also harbors plans to make Forged Irish Stout a global phenomenon. The demand for his dark beer has been overwhelming, and McGregor is ready to stock up on backup.

The 35-year-old recently turned to his Instagram handle as he declared the selling figures of Forged Irish Stout. He has been the face of the Irish Stout and has vehemently updated the fans on the same. Earlier, he claimed 30 kegs of the drink had been sold out within 3 days. Therefore, he had to fill in for the delivery man. Likewise, he took his $384,000 worth of Bentley to the brewery and commended the personnel for their monumental efforts.

In the clip, the fan can spot the Dubliner interacting with the brewery personnel, laughing, and taking a tour of the place. Further, he chugged down his own Irish beer with them and got engaged in a photo shoot. Along with the video, the caption reads, “Congrats to our @forgedirishstout brewery on reaching 1 Million cans produced! Wow! 1 million cans! What a spot! What a Stout!”
Notably, the $200 million superstar has already collected over $600 million from the sale of his share in Proper Twelve Whiskey. The revenue beefed up his account and also made him Forbes’ richest athlete of 2021. But the 22-6 record holder is not content and is ready to move on to his next ambition.
