Yeastie Boys Melon Balls Lager

TASTING NOTES

A crisp, golden Dortmunder-style lager with loads of juicy Honeydew Melon and light citrus notes. Clean and refreshing with the added bonus of making you feel like it’s absolutely summertime and you have nothing more pressing than enjoying this tasty beverage in the sun…

BREWERY SNAPSHOT

The Yeastie Boys – Stu McKinlay and Sam Possenniskie are the dynamic duo of New Zealand’s craft beer scene. They burst onto the beer landscape with two trophies for their flagship Porter Pot Kettle Black at BrewNZ 2009 and have remained firmly ensconced there ever since.

DID YOU KNOW?

Founder, head boy (and occasional wearer of brightly coloured pants) Stu McKinlay is the fire-starter at Yeastie Boys. He oversees everything from the design of the beers, through the naming and conceptual design of the packaging and marketing collateral, to market development and publicity. He’s also often picked as a spokesperson and poster boy for the craft beer scene in New Zealand. While he has twice held roles on the executive committee of the Brewers Guild of New Zealand, Stu prefers his benevolent dictator role at Yeastie Boys.
