Yeastie Boys Pot Kettle Black

TASTING NOTES

Our flagship beer, and biggest seller, Pot Kettle Black is one of New Zealand’s most widely awarded beers. PKB, as it is affectionately known, is a juxtaposition of beer styles: fresh and hoppy, yet as dark as night and malty rich. The black beer that has converted many a person who’d formerly professed a fear of dark ales… and called a “real foodie beer” by every chef we meet!

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.
