Beer firm
yeastieboys.co.nz
Active since: September 2015 in UK, 2008 in New Zealand.
A pioneer of the now-flourishing New Zealand craft scene, this punningly named outfit was founded in Wellington by Stu McKinlay and Sam Possenniskie. It has always cuckoo brewed even in its home territory, and in 2015 Stu relocated to London to extend the brand. The beers have been brewed at several locations including BrewDog at Ellon, Aberdeenshire, Scotland; West Berkshire near Reading; and most recently at Utopian in Devon.
Stu has become a familiar and influential figure on the London scene, and now claims to lead “the world’s smallest multinational” with a similar operation in Australia. A popup Bermondsey taproom began late in 2019 and there are plans for a more substantial dedicated outlet.
Beers are widely available in can and keg.
