YEASTIE BOYS

The Black is Back

Yeastie Boys has been successfully weird from the beginning, responsible for some of the most controversial flavours put into beer since starting in Wellington in 2008. Initially contract brewed out of Invercargill breweries, their first beer, a highly hopped and fruit forward porter, Pot Kettle Black, won accolades for its fresh take on the style. Some would argue it is a black IPA, but what’s in a name where beer is concerned (looking at you, 'Brut IPA').

Fresh and hoppy, malty rich and black-hued, this is a tasty and true original that pairs very well with food.
