Already known for pushing limits and breaking free of styles, Kid Chocolate may be Yeastie Boys most outrageous beer yet. It is, in some respects, the craft beer version of New Zealand Draught.
Where Tui, Sepight's Gold, Lion Brown and DB Draught fail to perform, Yeastie Boys deliver in spades. As most other craft brewers push the upper ends of beer flavour (and alcohol limits) the Yeastie Boys drop down to the lower end (to Mild ale, our favourite beer style) in an attempt squeeze as much flavour as they can from a beer of only 3.6% ABV."It was an obvious choice to go with a mild ale" says Yeastie Boy Stu McKinlay. "We created Pot Kettle Black for our beer loving friends, Golden Boy for those who were curious but less initiated in the world of flavoursome beer, and now this one is for us - the perfect quaffer for thirsty men and women". Look out for Kid Chocolate on keg or handpump at your local soon, or order a bottle or two online at www.beerstore.co.nz.
English Mild Ales are refreshing, flavourful, light-flavored, malt-accented beers that are extremely difficult to make but are readily suited to drinking in quantity by thirsty (and 'Yeastie') men and women. Yeastie Boys version 'Kid Chocolate', with its unique New Zealand hop twist, is chestnut coloured with a little autumn fruit and chocolate in the nose and on the palate (from the combination of new world Nelson 'Rakau' hops and our old world malts and yeast). Perfect, the Yeastie Boys think, for drinking through the latter days of summer.
Yeastie Boys - just like Lee Dorsey, everything we do gohn be funky.
