Yeastie Boys RexAttitude

TASTING NOTES

The world’s first ever 100% peat smoked beer. This is not for the faint-hearted and you will either love it or hate it – there is no in between. With smokiness mixed in with whiskey tones, this is a great beer paired with smoked meats and cheeses.

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 and head boy Stu McKinlay, an occasional wearer of brightly-coloured pants, 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.
