Description
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.
Yeastie Boys is a deliciously irreverent brewing company and, quite possibly, the world's smallest multinational. We take beer and people very seriously... everything else is unmitigated fun!
We brew in opposite ends of the earth - New Zealand, Australia & United Kingdom - to keep the world in good beer balance.

440ml can. Pours a deep amber, clear with a tiny off white head. Aroma is ginger beer. Beer is light, slightly sweet & with a mild ginger taste, despite the ingredients saying just barely, hops, yeast & water are in the can. Maybe it is an artificial flavour they don't have to declare?
The IPA is really mild, the "ginger biscuit" also. It tastes like someone tipped some ginger ale in your ale. I'd rather drink ginger beer or a good IPA.

330ml can via Beer52, poured into my thistle shaped Gordons glass at home on 16th June 2025. Looked almost black, tanned crust on top. Malty at first then the fruity hops kick in, dark berries mostly but other fruits join in too. Nice finish to the day.
